how to generate syslogd events in AIX platform
I think, this question not belongs to this forum.But if any body knows please help me.
I want to generate syslogd events and forward to some ip <IP> from AIX system. I did this following way I added "*.* @<IP>" in /etc/syslog.conf file and syslogd restarted with following two commands stopsrc -s syslogd startsrc -s syslogd Now I am dumping syslogd events with "tcpdump src port 514" command to know whether syslog events generating or not.But I am not getting any syslogd event generation. Please help me syslogd event generation and forwarding from AIX system ThanQ, Nagendra Rednam |

As to what you're trying to do, allowable syntax in AIX syslog.conf is different than linux. Linux lets you use a wildcard in both places ( *.*). AIX does not. I think you can only wildcard the facility, not the priority. Check the default /etc/syslog.conf on AIX, it is explained in the comments. Try changing *.* to something like *.debug, or *.info, and see what you get then. |
Now I added "*.crit /tmp/syslog.out" in /etc/syslog.conf file and restarted syslogd . Now I am trying for login with wrong password.But I am not getting any events in /tmp/syslog.out file.
Please help me how to get the events on AIX . ThanQ, Nagendra R |
