Information Cente
1-16
III. Configuration procedure
1) Configure the switch:
# Enable the information center.
<H3C> system-view
[H3C] info-center enable
# Configure the host whose IP address is 202.38.1.10 as the log host. Set the output
language to English. Permit all modules to output information with severity level higher
than error to the log host.
[H3C] info-center loghost 202.38.1.10 facility local7 language english
[H3C] info-center source default channel loghost log level errors debug state
off trap state off
2) Configure the log host:
Step 1: Execute the following commands as a super user (root user).
# mkdir /var/log/H3C
# touch /var/log/H3C/information
Step 2: Edit the file “/etc/syslog.conf” as the super user (root user) to add the following
selector/action pairs.
# H3C configuration messages
local7.info /var/log/H3C/information
Note:
Note the following items when you edit file “/etc/syslog.conf”.
z A note must start in a new line, starting with a “#" sign.
z In each pair, a tab should be used as a separator instead of a space.
z No space is permitted at the end of the file name.
z The facility and received log information severity specified in file “/etc/syslog.conf”
must be the same with those corresponding parameters configured in commands
info-center loghost and info-center source. Otherwise, log information may not
be output to the log host normally.
Step 3: After the log file “information” is created and the file “/etc/syslog.conf” is
modified, execute the following commands to view the process ID of the system
daemon “syslogd”, stop the process, and then restart the daemon "syslogd" in the
background with the “-r” option.
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -9 147
