Examples: Assigning an Alternative Facility

[Contents] [Prev] [Next] [Index] [Report an Error]

Log all messages generated on the local routing platform at the error level or higher to the local0 facility on the remote machine called monitor.mycompany.com:



[edit system syslog]
host monitor.mycompany.com {
	any error;
	facility-override local0;
}

Configure routing platforms located in and routing platforms located in New York to send messages to a single remote machine called central-logger.mycompany.com. The messages from California are assigned alternative facility local0 and the messages from New York are assigned to alternative facility local2.

Configure California routing platforms to aggregate messages in the local0 facility:



[edit system syslog]
host central-logger.mycompany.com {
	change-log info;
	facility-override local0;
}

Configure New York routing platforms to aggregate messages in the local2 facility:



[edit system syslog]
host central-logger.mycompany.com {
	change-log info;
	facility-override local2;
}

On central-logger, you can then configure the system logging utility to write messages from the local0 facility to the file california-config and the messages from the local2 facility to the file new-york-config.
