Using syslog for CSM/MS on RedHat Linux

Use this procedure to set up the syslog command to send log entries from the fabric management server and switches.

Note: Do not use this procedure unless you were directed here from another procedure.

You were directed to this procedure because the level of Linux® you are using on the Cluster Systems Management/Management Server (CSM/MS) does not support the syslog-ng command. After completing the following procedure, you will be returned to the procedure that sent you here.

Use this procedure to set up the syslog command to direct log entries from the fabric management server and switches.

Set up a sensor for the syslog.fabric.notices file by using the monerrorlog command, but change the default priority filter to f_fabnotices and the monitored file to syslog.fabric.notices as shown in the following example:
```
/opt/csm/csmbin/monerrorlog -f "/var/log/csm/syslog.fabric.notices" -p
"local6.notice"
```
Wait approximately 2 minutes after running the monerrorlog command. The following information can be found in the /etc/syslog.conf file.
```
local6.notice /var/log/csm/syslog.fabric.notices rotate 4m files 1
```
