Viewing Logs
Messages can originate from the following locations or facilities:
• user—User processes from the CSR application.
• kern—Kernel
• mail—Mail system
• daemon—System daemons
• auth—Authorization system, such as login or su.
• lpr—Print spooler
• news—Network new systems
Examples
ExampleA-1 Syslog sends all error messages from all locations to the console for everyone
*.err /dev/console
ExampleA-2 Syslog sends all error messages generated from the kernel to the
/var/adm/kern_messages file
kern.err /var/adm/kern_messages
ExampleA-3 Syslog sends all error messages, notice messages and error message from the
authorization system to /var/adm/some_messages file
*.err,*.notice,auth.err /var/adm/some_messages
ExampleA-4 Syslog sends error messages to console and /var/adm/messages file separately
*.err /dev/console
*.err /var/adm/messages
Note Log messages can be captured in more than one location.
ExampleA-5 Syslog sends message to the adminuser email address on the system
*.emerg adminuser
Note Instead of adminuser, an asterisk (*) may be used. This sends the message to all e-mail
accounts.
