Configuring Global Settings 3-11
Setting System Logging
You can change the facility, the priority, or both, of log messages.
To change the facility or priority of log messages, use the following command. Be sure to
separate the Facility and Priority keywords with a period (.).
Command> set syslog Logtype Facility.Priority
The facility and priority can be set for each of the five types of logged events listed in
Tabl e 3-2.
Table 3-3 and Table3-4 show the keywords used to ident ify facilities and priorities.
Lucent recommends that you use the auth facility or the local0 through local7
facilities to receive syslog messages from PortMaster products, but all the facilities are
provided. See your operating system documentation for information on configuring
syslog on your host.
