remote workstation. However, a particular 2210 can log to one and only one remote
workstation. The operating system used in this example is AIX 4.2.Your
environment may be slightly different. For more information on syslog, refer to the
documentation for your operating system.
Toperform the configuration on an AIX workstation, you must log in as root.To
configure the workstation:
1. Create or edit a syslog.conf file to specify where ELS messages with particular
syslog_facility
and
syslog_level
values are to be written. See the bottom of
Figure 6on page 157 for an example of how to specify the message destination.
Note that the full pathname of the log files must be specified. The default
location for the syslog configuration file is /etc/syslog.conf.
2. Create the files for logging syslog messages that you specified in the
syslog.conf file.
3. Start the syslog daemon by entering syslogd. Tostart the syslog daemon from
SRC (System Resource Controller), enter startsrc -s syslogd. If the pathname
of the configuration file is not /etc/syslog.conf, then enter syslogd -f

pathname

.
Tostart the syslog daemon in debug mode, enter syslogd -d.
Note: Running multiple instances of the syslog daemon is not supported.
4. If the syslog daemon is already running when you create or modify the
syslog.conf file, it must be restarted so that the daemon reinitializes the
configuration from syslog.conf.
5. Verify the setup by using the logger command as follows:
logger -p user.alert THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE (user.alert)
logger -p news.info THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE (news.info)
If the setup is correct, THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE... will be written to the files
specified in syslog.conf.
