#/etc/syslog.conf - control output of syslogd

#Each line must consist of two parts:-

#1) A selector to determine the message priorities to which the

#line applies

#2) An action.

#

#The two fields must be separated by one or more tabs or spaces.

#format:

#

# <msg_src_list><destination>

#

#where <msg_src_list> is a semicolon separated list of <facility>.<priority>

#where:

#

#<facility> is:

#* - all (except mark)

#kern,user,mail,daemon, auth, syslog, lpr, news, uucp, cron, authpriv, local0 - local7

#<priority or level> is one of (from high to low):

#emerg,alert,crit,err(or),warn(ing),notice,info,debug

#(meaning all messages of this priority or higher)

#

#<destination> is:

#/filename - log to this file

#username[,username2...] - write to user(s)

#@hostname - send to syslogd on this machine

#* - send to all logged in users

#

#example:

#"mail messages, at debug or higher, go to Log file. File must exist."

#"all facilities, at debug and higher, go to console"

#"all facilities, at crit or higher, go to all users"

#	mail.debug	/usr/spool/mqueue/syslog
#	*.debug	/dev/console
#	*.crit	*
#	syslog messages with facilty / priority values of LOG_USER, LOG_ALERT
user.alert		/tmp/syslog_user_alert

#syslog messages with facilty / priority values of LOG_NEWS, LOG_INFO

Con®guring the 2210 for Remote Logging

To con®gure a 2210:

1.In talk 6, con®gure the remote-logging facility as shown in Figure 7 on page 158. The IP address speci®ed as thesource-ip-addrshould be an IP address that is con®gured in the 2210 for easier identi®cation when the IP address or the hostname is shown in the remotely-logged ELS message. You should also verify that this IP address resolves quickly into a hostname by the name server or that
