Setting Up the Syslog

- Prestige Setup
- UNIX Setup

The Prestige is able to send four types of system log to a Syslog deamon such as Unix Syslogd.

- Prestige Setup

`Menu 24.3.2 - System Maintenance - Syslog Logging Syslog: Active= Yes Syslog Server IP Address= 192.168.1.34 Log Facility= Local 1`

Configuration:

1. Active, use the space bar to turn on the syslog option.
2. Syslog IP Address, enter the IP address of the UNIX server that you wish to send the syslog.

- UNIX Setup

1. Make sure that your syslogd is started with -r argument.

-r, this option will enable the facility to receive message from the network using an Internet domain socket with the syslog services. The default setting is not enabled.

2. Edit the file /etc/syslog.conf by adding the following line at the end of the /etc/syslog.conf file.

    local1.*               /var/log/zyxel.log

Where /var/log/zyxel.log is the full path of the log file.

3. Restart syslogd.
