set facility number on outgoing syslog

[JEAN TAYLOR]

Our routers and DNS machines (HPUX 10.20 & 11.00) are sending to a linux syslog server. The syslog facility number is set on the routers so the syslog server can file the messages away in a particular file....
core routers have "logging facility local5"
distribution have "logging facility local4".
the syslog server has..
# log incoming dist routers to this file
local5.* /var/syslog/syslog.dist
#log incoming pix messages to this file
local4.* /var/syslog/syslog.pix
#log incoming unix messages to this file
local3.* /var/syslog/syslog.hpux

I would like to have 36(+) DNS machines to do the same as the core and distribution with a facility of LOCAL3. I've been through the man pages but nothing has clicked so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What are the DNS boxes running? Windows, Linux, or something else?

In the syslog.conf file of each of the systems running DNS, you can add one or the other of the following:

*.daemon @systemname

or

*.info;mail.none @systemname

where "systemname" is the hostname of the Linux system you want all the messages to go to. The first option will send only the daemon messages over; the second will send everything. Given that DNS messages come from the named process, you only have the option to route these via "daemon" in the syslog.conf file.
