2 Configuration on the loghost
This configuration is performed on the loghost. The following example is performed
on SunOS 4.0 and the operation on Unix operation system produced by other
manufactures is generally the same to the operation on SunOS 4.0.
a Perform the following command as the super user (root).
# mkdir /var/log/SW5500
# touch /var/log/SW5500/information
b Edit file /etc/syslog.conf as the super user (root), add the following selector/actor
pairs.
# SW5500 configuration messages
local4.info /var/log/SW5500/information
Note the following points when editing /etc/syslog.conf:
(1) The note must occupy a line and start with the character #.
(2) There must be a tab other than a space as the separator in selector/actor pairs.
(3) No redundant space after file name.
(4) The device name and the acceptant log information level specified in
/etc/syslog.conf must be consistent with info-center loghost and info-center loghost
a.b.c.d facility configured on the Switch. Otherwise, the log information probably
cannot be output to the loghost correctly.
c After the establishment of information (log file) and the revision of
/etc/syslog.conf
through the following command, to make syslogd reread its configuration file
/etc/syslog.conf
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -HUP 147
After the above operation, the Switch system can record information in related log
files.
To configure facility, severity, filter and the file syslog.conf synthetically, you can get
classification in great detail and filter the information.
Networking Requirement
