HP StorageWorks 2.128 SAN Director Switch - Manual (Page 138)

138 Working with diagnostic features
Because a
portLogDump
output is long, a truncated example is presented:
Configuring for syslogd
The system logging daemon (
syslogd
) is a process on UNIX, Linux, and some Windows systems that
reads and logs messages as specified by the system administrator.
Fabric OS can be configured to use a UNIX-style
syslogd
process to forward system events and error
messages to log files on a remote host system.
The host system can be running UNIX, Linux, or any other operating system that supports the standard
syslogd
functionality.
NOTE: Fabric OS releases earlier than 4.4.0 do not support UNIX local7 facilities; they support
kern facilities. Starting with Fabric OS 4.4.0, kern facilities are no longer supported; UNIX local7
facilities are supported. The default facility level is 7.
Configuring for
syslogd
involves configuring the host, enabling
syslogd
on the HP StorageWorks
switch, and, as an option, setting the facility level.
Configuring the host
Fabric OS supports a subset of UNIX-style message severities that default to the UNIX local7 facility. To
configure the host, edit the
/etc/syslog.conf
file to map Fabric OS message severities to UNIX
severities, as shown in Table 22 .
