Sending System Log Messages to a File

You can direct system log messages to a file on the CompactFlash (CF) card. The default directory for log files is /var/log. To specify a different directory on the CF card, include the complete pathname.

Create a file named security, and send log messages of the authorization class at the severity level info to the file.

To set the filename, the facility, and severity level:

{primary:node0}user@host# set system syslog file security authorization info
