5 5 .TH SYSLOG.CONF 4 "Nov 19, 2013"
6 6 .SH NAME
7 7 syslog.conf \- configuration file for syslogd system log daemon
8 8 .SH SYNOPSIS
9 9 .LP
10 10 .nf
11 11 \fB/etc/syslog.conf\fR
12 12 .fi
13 13
14 14 .SH DESCRIPTION
15 -.sp
16 15 .LP
17 16 The file \fB/etc/syslog.conf\fR contains information used by the system log
18 17 daemon, \fBsyslogd\fR(1M), to forward a system message to appropriate log files
19 18 and/or users. \fBsyslogd\fR preprocesses this file through \fBm4\fR(1) to
20 19 obtain the correct information for certain log files, defining \fBLOGHOST\fR if
21 20 the address of "loghost" is the same as one of the addresses of the host that
22 21 is running \fBsyslogd\fR.
23 22 .sp
24 23 .LP
25 24 A configuration entry is composed of two TAB-separated fields:
26 25 .sp
27 26 .in +2
28 27 .nf
29 28 \fIselector action\fR
30 29 .fi
31 30 .in -2
32 31
33 32 .sp
34 33 .LP
35 34 The \fIselector\fR field contains a semicolon-separated list of priority
36 35 specifications of the form:
37 36 .sp
38 37 .in +2
39 38 .nf
40 39 \fIfacility\fR\fB\&.\fR\fIlevel\fR [ \fB;\fR \fIfacility\fR\fB\&.\fR\fIlevel\fR ]
41 40 .fi
42 41 .in -2
43 42
44 43 .sp
45 44 .LP
46 45 where \fIfacility\fR is a system facility, or comma-separated list of
47 46 facilities, and \fIlevel\fR is an indication of the severity of the condition
48 47 being logged.
49 48 The presence of a facility name only implies that it is available.
50 49 Each individual service determines which facility it will use for logging.
51 50 In particular, many facilities are only useful for \fBsyslog\fR messages
52 51 that are forwarded from other operating systems.
53 52 Recognized values for \fIfacility\fR include:

346 343 one machine on a network to be "loghost" by, literally, naming the machine
347 344 "loghost". If the local machine is designated to be "loghost", then
348 345 \fBsyslogd\fR messages are written to the appropriate files. Otherwise, they
