Configuring syslogd

Configuring syslogd on the Remote Host

The syslogd configuration on the UNIX host provides the syslogd daemon with
instructions on how to process different messages it receives from the switch. The
following are example entries in the syslog configuration file, /etc/syslog.conf, on
how to store switch error log messages received from the Core Switch 2/64 or
SAN Switch 2/32 switch. Please refer to the syslog related manual pages on your
UNIX system for the full documentation of the syslog configuration file.

The following entry in /etc/syslog.conf causes all messages from the Core Switch
2/64 or SAN Switch 2/32 switch of UNIX priority warning or higher (Basically,
warning, error, critical, and panic messages) to be stored in the file
/var/adm/SilkWorm.
