The messages coming from a program are classified into critical
informative, alert, error, emergency etc. The syslog
configuration file tells the syslog daemon how to post these messages. They
could be sent to the console or to a log file, a printer, a message sent to an
administrator or to another machine. SYSLOG uses UDP to send to another machine.
Explanation of parameters in syslog configuration file:
Syslog has a set of parameters that can be configured. Messages are classified
into several levels. These messages can be directed to different outputs like
console, logfile and so forth. They can also be sent to another machine which
runs a syslog daemon.
They are classified as follows:
- debug
info
error
critical
warning
alert
emergency
Now these messages could also be sent to a particular user by using the "tell"
option followed by the user name.
They can also be sent to another machine by using "@machine name".
