# MyDevice configuration messages
local4.info /var/log/MyDevice/information
 Note:
Be aware of the following issues while editing the /etc/syslog.conf file:
z Comments must be on a separate line and must begin with the # sign.
z The selector/action pair must be separated with a tab key, rather than a space.
z No redundant spaces are allowed in the file name.
z The device name and the accepted severity of log information specified by the
/etc/syslog.conf file must be identical to those configured on the device using the
info-center loghost or info-center source command; otherwise the log
information may not be output properly to the log host.
Step three: After the log file information has been created and the configuration file
/etc/syslog.conf has been modified, ensure that the configuration file /etc/syslog.conf is
reread:
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -HUP 147
After the above configurations, the system will be able to keep log information in the
related file.
