Syslog Tab
Figure 2-30 Log System Configurator: Syslog Host Tab
The Syslog tab allows the user to configure logging messages to be sent to a syslog
host. If the Host IP address is 0.0.0.0, no syslog host is configured, otherwise log
messages are sent to the syslog server at a specified IP address and port.
To setup the syslog host:
1. In the Host IP text box, enter the 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.
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.
