/etc/syslog.conf

Michel Dijkhuizen — Tue, 07 Nov 2000 16:53:24 GMT

Hi there,

I'm ask to configure a standard /etc/syslog.conf file. I know how to configure this.

What's the best layout for a standard /etc/syslog.conf file to get the right messages in the right log files /var/adm/syslog/*.log

How does the priority specifiers (debug,info,alert,emerg,etc..) work?

Thnx,
Michel

Hi:

See the man pages:

# man 1M syslogd

Hi (again);

You might find the response by Andreas Voss, in the link below, very useful in answering your question, too.

there is a default syslog.conf in /usr/newconfig/etc. Just copy it over to /var/adm/syslog.

Instead of man 1m syslogd try man 3c syslog. This gives more details about the different message levels and options available, i.e, debug information of use only when debugging a program, emerg , a panic condition, etc.
