Hello All: I am trying to use one of my linux boxes to get information from my foundry switches (and eventually a lot of other gear) using the syslog facility. This will be in addition to SNMP which I am already using via CACTI I have managed to configure things so that the messages are heading to /var/logs/messages, but I cannot seem to get them to go to the device specific files that I have designated. Here is a copy of my /etc/syslog.conf file # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* /var/log/maillog # Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron # Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg * # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler # Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log #send messages from Lancelot to Lancelot.log 192.168.0.225.* /var/log/lancelot.log #send messages from tristan. tristan.log 192.168.0.231.* /var/log/tristan.log tristan.* /var/log/tristan.log If anyone can help me out, what I would like is for each device to have its own separate log file, and then I need suggestions on how to properly view them etc TIM Tim Holmes IT Manager / Webmaster Medina Christian Academy A Higher Standard...
