Configure Syslog

The Configure Syslog page enables you to view and edit the /etc/syslog.conf file on the filer's root volume, which controls the logging of system messages done by the syslogd daemon.

Based on their severity and origin, system messages can be directed to the console, to a file, or to a remote system. By default, all system messages (except for those of severity level debug) are written to the console and to the /etc/messages file.
