Syslog default logging severity level
Dear all,
I am quite new to Tru64. If I haven't specified the logging severity level on syslog.conf entry, what level it will log by default?
E.g.
kern,user /var/adm/syslog/test.log
What logging severity level will be used for kern and user? I am using verion 5.1
Many thanks,
SK

Re: Syslog default logging severity level
This is controlled by syslog.conf (which has its own reference page for further details). The default values in 5.1B are:
kern.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/kern.log
user.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/user.log
mail.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/mail.log
daemon.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/daemon.log
auth.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/auth.log
syslog.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/syslog.log
lpr.err /var/adm/syslog.dated/lpr.log
msgbuf.err /var/adm/crash/msgbuf.savecore
kern.debug /var/adm/messages
kern.debug /dev/console

kern.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/kern.log
user.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/user.log
mail.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/mail.log
daemon.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/daemon.log
auth.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/auth.log
syslog.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/syslog.log
lpr.err /var/adm/syslog.dated/lpr.log
msgbuf.err /var/adm/crash/msgbuf.savecore
kern.debug /var/adm/messages
kern.debug /dev/console

Re: Syslog default logging severity level
Hello Martin,
Thanks. I am actually checking a system which is installed by other people. I discover they have set something like below.
kern,user,syslog;*.info /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
May I know what level the kern, user and syslog will log? I suppose the debug level?
Thanks again.

Re: Syslog default logging severity level
>kern,user,syslog;*.info /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
OK, I've looked into this a little further, and it doesn't appear that the behavior is defined if the severity level is omitted. I suspect that you'll get nothing for kern, user, and syslog in this case (unless there's a subsequent entry for them in syslog.conf). If you want those facilities to log debug and higher, I'd change the line to:
kern,user,syslog.debug;*.info /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
Also, it looks like you might wind up with a very large syslog.log file with this specification.
Hope this helps,
Martin
