Diagnostics and Status Example kern.warning /var/adm/SilkWorm The following entry in /etc/syslog.conf causes all messages (Debug, Info, Warning, Error, Critical, and Panic) from the switch to be stored in the file /var/adm/SilkWorm. Example kern.debug /var/adm/SilkWorm The kern prefix identifies that the Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Switch 2/32 use "kernel" syslogd facility to dispatch error log messages to the syslogd daemon. The placement of entries is critical to this function. Refer to "Configuring syslogd on the Remote Host" on page 173 and "Configuring syslogd on the Remote Host" on page 173 for instructions. Enabling syslogd on the Core Switch 2/64 or SAN Switch 2/32 This procedure explains how to configure the switch to dispatch error log messages to a remote syslogd host. To configure the switch to forward switch error log messages to a remote syslogd host the following steps must be performed: 1. Log in to the switch as Admin user. 2. At the command line enter the syslogdipadd command using the following syntax: switch:admin>syslogdipadd "IP address of the remote syslogd host" 3. Verify the IP address was entered correctly using the syslogdipshow command. The following example shows how to configure the switch to dispatch error log messages to a remote syslogd host whose IP address is 192.168.148.189 Example switch:admin> syslogdipadd 192.168.148.189 switch:admin> syslogdipshow syslog.IP.address.1 192.168.148.189 174 Fabric OS Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
