Disable System Logging
By default, logging is enabled and log messages are sent to the logging buffer, all terminal lines, console,
and syslog servers.
To enable and disable system logging:
Send System Messages to a Syslog Server
To send system messages to a syslog server:
Configure a Unix System as a Syslog Server
Configure a UNIX system as a syslog server by adding the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf on the Unix
system and assigning write permissions to the file.
• on a 4.1 BSD UNIX system, add the line: local7.debugging /var/log/log7.log
• on a 5.7 SunOS UNIX system, add the line: local7.debugging /var/adm/ftos.log
In the lines above, local7 is the logging facility level and debugging is the severity level.
Change System Logging Settings
You can change the default settings of the system logging by changing the severity level and the storage
location. The default is to log all messages up to debug level, that is, all system messages. By changing the
severity level in the logging commands, you control the number of system messages logged.
