NOTE:

Be aware of the following issues while editing file /etc/syslog.conf:

Comments must be on a separate line and begin with the # sign.

No redundant spaces are allowed after 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.

Step 4: 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 restart
syslogd
using the -r option to make the modified configuration take effect.

# ps -ae | grep syslogd

147

# kill -9 147

# syslogd -r &

NOTE:

Ensure that the syslogd process is started with the -r option on a Linux log host.

After the above configurations, the system will be able to record log information into the log file.
