Sending System Messages to a Syslog Server
To send system messages to a specified syslog server, use the following command. The following syslog standards are supported: RFC
5424 The SYSLOG Protocol, R.Gerhards and Adiscon GmbH, March 2009, obsoletes RFC 3164 and RFC 5426 Transmission of Syslog
Messages over UDP.
• Specify the server to which you want to send system messages. You can configure up to eight syslog servers.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging {ip-address | ipv6-address | hostname} {{udp {port}} | {tcp {port}}}
Configuring a UNIX System as a Syslog Server
To configure a UNIX System as a syslog server, use the following command.
• Configure a UNIX system as a syslog server by adding the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf on the UNIX system and assigning write
permissions to the file.
• Add line on a 4.1 BSD UNIX system. local7.debugging /var/log/ftos.log
• Add line on a 5.7 SunOS UNIX system. local7.debugging /var/adm/ftos.log
In the previous lines, local7 is the logging facility level and debugging is the severity level.
