# Device configuration messages
local4.info /var/log/Device/info.log
In this configuration, local4 is the name of the logging facility that the log host uses to receive
logs. info is the informational level. The UNIX system records the log information that has a
severity level of at least informational to the file /var/log/Device/info.log.
NOTE:
Follow these guidelines while editing the file /etc/syslog.conf:
• Comments must be on a separate line and must begin with a pound sign (#).
• No redundant spaces are allowed after the file name.
• The logging facility name and the severity 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 then restart syslogd using the –r
option to make the new configuration take effect.
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -HUP 147
# syslogd -r &
Now, the device can output FTP logs to the log host, which stores the logs to the specified file.
