Syslog service configuration
Changing the log facility
The Syslog daemon on the Syslog server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages
from the Brocade device. The default facility for messages the Brocade device sends to the Syslog
server is “user”. You can change the facility using the following command.
NOTE
You can specify only one facility. If you configure the Brocade device to use two Syslog servers, the
device uses the same facility on both servers.
