To setup the syslog host:
1. In the Hostname or IP text box, enter either the host name or IP address of
the syslog host where the log files are to be saved.
2. Click the Apply button to save the IP address.
Configure Syslog on the Syslog Server
1. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file and ensure that the -r is included
in the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS. This allows logging from a remote system. For
example:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0"
2. Type /etc/init.d/syslog restart, and press ENTER.
Reset Log Levels
The Reset Levels button resets the logging levels to their factory default values.
To reset the logging levels:
1. From the menu, select Logging.
The Reset Levels button is displayed (Figure 1-28).
NOTE:
To centralize logging for all switches in an IB fabric, the user can
configure each switch to point to the same syslog server, which has the
syslog daemon (syslogd) running.
