The switch sends messages according to the specified facility types and severity levels. The local1
keyword specifies the UNIX logging facility used. The messages from the switch are generated by user
processes. The debug keyword specifies the severity level of the condition being logged. You can set
UNIX systems to receive all messages from the switch.
Step 2
Create the log file by entering these commands at the UNIX shell prompt:
$ touch /var/log/myfile.log
$ chmod 666 /var/log/myfile.log
Make sure the system message logging daemon reads the new changes by entering this command:
Step 3
$ kill -HUP ~cat /etc/syslog.pid~

Outgoing System Message Logging Server Facilities
All system messages have a logging facility and a level. The logging facility can be thought of as where
and the level can be thought of as what.
The single system message logging daemon (syslogd) sends the information based on the configured
facility option. If no facility is specified, local7 is the default outgoing facility.
The internal facilities are listed in
OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
