NOTE:
Be aware of the following issues while editing the /etc/syslog.conf file:
• Comments must be on a separate line and must begin with the # sign.
• No redundant spaces are allowed in 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 using the info-center loghost and info-center source
commands; otherwise the log information may not be output properly to the log host.
d. After log file info.log is created and file /etc/syslog.conf is modified, you need to issue the
following commands to display the process ID of syslogd, kill the syslogd process and then
restart syslogd using the –r option to make the modified configuration take effect.
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -HUP 147
# syslogd -r &
After the above configurations, the system will be able to keep log information in the related file.
