To redirect Aspera logging, modify /etc/syslog.conf (/etc/rsyslog.conf in the case of Red Hat or

CentOS 6.XA) and add local2.none to the /var/log/messages line. For example, if you have the following

line:

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages

Change it to:

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local2.none /var/log/messages

Next, forward local2.info log messages to your new file. For example, to write to /var/log/aspera.log,

add the following line just below the line you modified above:

local2.info -/var/log/aspera.log

The log file name should be separated from the log facility (local2.info) by tab characters, not spaces and be

preceded by a hyphen. The hyphen before the log file name allows for asynchronous logging.

Next, restart the syslog daemon to have it load the new configuration:

# service syslog restart

In the case of Red Hat or CentOS 6.X:

# service rsyslog restart

Your Aspera log messages now appear in /var/log/aspera.log instead of /var/log/messages.

SLES (Suse) systems

On SLES (Suse) systems, the transfer logs are recorded in the following system log file: /var/log/

localmessages

To redirect Aspera logging, locate the following section in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:

filter f_local { facility(local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5,

local6, local7); };

destination localmessages { file("/var/log/localmessages"); };

log { source(src); filter(f_local); destination(localmessages); };

Modify the section as follows:

filter f_local { facility(local0, local1, local3, local4, local5, local6,

local7); };

filter f_aspera { facility(local2); };

destination localmessages { file("/var/log/localmessages"); };

log { source(src); filter(f_local); destination(localmessages); };

destination asperalog { file("/var/log/aspera.log"); };

log { source(src); filter(f_aspera); destination(asperalog); };

Then run the following command:

# rcsyslog restart

Your Aspera log messages now appear in /var/log/aspera.log instead of /var/log/localmessages.
