Syslogd configuration
The system logging daemon (syslogd) is an IP-based service for logging system messages made
available by default on UNIX and Linux operating systems. It is available as a third-party application
for Windows operating systems.
Fabric OS can be configured to use a UNIX-style syslogd process to forward system events and error
messages to log files on a remote host system. The host system can be running UNIX, Linux, or any
other operating system that supports the standard syslogd functionality.
Fabric OS supports UNIX local7 facilities (the default facility level is 7). Configuring for syslogd
involves configuring the host, enabling syslogd on the switch, and, optionally, setting the facility
level.
Configuring the host
Fabric OS supports a subset of UNIX-style message severities that default to the UNIX local7 facility.
To configure the host, edit the /etc/syslog.conf file to map Fabric OS message severities to UNIX
severities, as shown in Table 21.
In this example, Fabric OS messages map to local7 facility level 7 in the /etc/syslog.conf file:
local7.emerg /var/adm/swcritical
local7.alert /var/adm/alert7
local7.crit /var/adm/crit7
local7.err /var/adm/swerror
local7.warning /var/adm/swwarning
local7.notice /var/adm/notice7
