2) Configuring the log host
The following configurations were performed on SunOS 4.0 which has similar configurations to the Unix
operating systems implemented by other vendors.
Step 1: Issue the following commands as a root user.
# mkdir /var/log/MyDevice
# touch /var/log/MyDevice/information
Step 2: Edit the file /etc/syslog.conf as a root user and add the following selector/action pair.
# MyDevice configuration messages
local4.info /var/log/MyDevice/information
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.
Outputting Log Information to a Linux Log Host
Network requirements

z
Log information with severity higher than informational will be output to the log host;
z
All modules can output log information.
