Want to know about a entry in syslog.conf

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to know about the below entry in syslog.conf in Solaris 10:

Code:
kern.notice               @destserver

Now the log will be redirected to destserver. But I want to know the location on the destserver where this log will be thrown.

Thanks in Advance,
Deepak

Ideally it should be on the sever destserver in the /var/adm/message, in the log lookout for hostname of the system which is throwing the log.

Shouldn't it be controlled by "kern.notice" entry in /etc/syslog.conf on destserver? I always thought it is working like that, I never tested it though.

Please give me some more views to understand this. Request experts to say their opinion about this.

Thanks,

What bartus11 is trying to say is if you got central log server then the logs file are going to decided by the syslog.conf file of central log server. On the server if there are line which says some thing like below then it means that the for the facility and level the log file which is used to /var/adm/messages

Quote:
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages
Which cane be changed depending upon your requirement.
