Configuring message logging

The /etc/syslog.conf file can be edited to modify your system's message logging.

Steps

1. Open the /etc/syslog.conf file with an editor from a client.
2. Add one or more lines using the following format: facility.level <tab> action
3. Save and close the /etc/syslog.conf file.

   The changes you made to the syslog.conf file are read automatically and are reflected in the message logging.
