Switch 7700 Configuration Guide

20 CHAPTER 11: SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Local4.crit /var/log/SW7700/config
SW7700 security messages:
local5.notice /var/log/SW7700/security
Pay attention to the following points when editing the file “/etc/syslog.conf”:
■ The description must start from a fresh line and begin with a pound key #.
■ Use tab character to separate the selectors/action pairs instead of space.
■ No redundant spaces should be left behind the name of the file.
c When the log files “config” and “security” are created, and the file
“/etc/syslog.conf” is modified, perform the following commands to send a HUP
signal to the system demon syslogd, so that the syslogd can read the
configuration file “/etc/syslog.conf” again.
ps -ae | grep syslogd 147
kill -HUP 147
After the above operations are performed, the system can record information in
the corresponding logging files
Note: Configuring integrally the facility, severity, filter and the file “syslog.conf”
makes it possible to perform the detailed classification for the purpose of
information filtering.
Example: Log
