The message logging daemon,
syslogd
, uses the
/etc/syslog.conf
configuration file
on the filer root volume to determine how to log system messages.
You can configure
syslogd
to direct system messages to the console, to a file, or to
a remote system based on their severity and origin.
By default, all system messages (except for those of severity level debug) are written
to the console and to the
/etc/messages
file on the root volume.
