Can you cause anything to generate these messages on demand? e.g. restart the syslog service

FYI, my server was restored from another server's mksysb. I have changed the host tables as well as the network to become a new server. There may be some system files that still having information of the previous server.
But I have performed
refresh -s syslogd and the hostname shown in syslog still "localhost".
I have also performed
refresh -g inetd and several tcp related subsystem group. Do I need to reboot the server?
For the question of whether I can generate messages on demand for the syslog? Yes, I can always try to sign in with dummy user ID and the syslog will capture it.
