responding. If syslog is your default output channel,
you might wish define a redundant channel using a
local file as the destination. See “Multiple Log
Outputs” on page 22.
Default-Channel If selected, then this channel is the Default-Channel.
Only one channel may be designated at the Default-
Channel. If you designate a channel as the Default-
Channel it will automatically override any previous
Default-Channel selection.

default.

your Log Rules after changing. For more
information, please see “Log Rules” on page 32.
