Hello guys,

Thanks for the replies!

Unfortunately I cannot deploy your file edit suggestions. The syslog daemon is set to send the logging directly to ArcSight besides writing it to file. Manipulating the written syslogs is therefore not a valid solution besides the fact this would break security policy because editing a system file before submission will not be accepted, even via (cron)script. They don't really trust us root admins ;-)

I essentially thus really need to be able to change the output of the syslog daemon.

I will check what log level I have set and if your suggested change is something I can test. I will also revert to the OS supplier for checking version and update possibility.

But. Does anyone know about the ssh authentication order and the way that influences the logged message? I found some suggestions online that changing the order would change logged messages?

Best regards,
Sjleegketting.

modemmanager

MODEMMANAGER(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   MODEMMANAGER(8)

NAME

       ModemManager - modem management daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ModemManager [--version] | [--help]

       ModemManager [--debug] [--log-level=<level>] [--log-file=<filename>] [--timestamps] [--relative-timestamps]

DESCRIPTION

       The  ModemManager  daemon  provides a unified high level API for communicating with (mobile broadband) modems. While the basic commands are
       standardized, the more advanced operations (like signal quality monitoring while connected) varies a lot.

       ModemManager is a system daemon and is not meant to be used directly from the
	      command line.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --version
	      Print the ModemManager software version and exit.

       --help Print ModemManager's available options and exit.

       --debug
	      Runs ModemManager with "DEBUG" log level and without daemonizing. This is useful for debugging, as it directs log output to the con-
	      trolling terminal in addition to syslog.

       --log-level=<level>
	      Sets  how much information ModemManager sends to the log destination (usually syslog's "daemon" facility). By default, only informa-
	      tional, warning, and error messages are logged. Given level must be one of "ERR", "WARN", "INFO" or "DEBUG".

       --log-file=<filename>
	      Specify location of the file where ModemManager will dump its log messages, instead of syslog.

       --timestamps
	      Include absolute timestamps in the log output.

       --relative-timestamps
	      Include timestamps, relative to the start time of the daemon, in the log output.

       SEE ALSO
	      NetworkManager(8).
