# Configure an output rule to output to the log host the log information that has a severity level of
at least informational.
[Sysname] info-center source default channel loghost log level informational state
on
2. Configure the log host:
a. Log in to the log host as a root user.
b. Create a subdirectory named AP under directory /var/log/, and create file info.log under the
Device directory to save logs of AP.
# mkdir /var/log/AP
# touch /var/log/AP/info.log
c. Edit file /etc/syslog.conf and add the following contents.
# Device configuration messages
local5.info /var/log/AP/info.log
In the above configuration, local5 is the name of the logging facility used by the log host to receive
logs. info is the information level. The Linux system will record the log information with severity
level equal to or higher than informational to file /var/log/AP/info.log.
NOTE:
Be aware of the following issues while editing file /etc/syslog.conf:
• Comments must be on a separate line and begin with the # sign.
• No redundant spaces are allowed after the file name.
• The logging facility name and the information level specified in the /etc/syslog.conf file must be
identical to those configured on the device by using the info-center loghost and info-center source
commands. Otherwise, the log information might not be output properly to the log host.
d. Display the process ID of syslogd, kill the syslogd process, and restart syslogd using the -r
option to make the modified configuration take effect.
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -9 147
# syslogd -r &
Make sure that the syslogd process is started with the -r option on a Linux log host.
Now, the system can record log information into the log file.
