Hello,

I would like to use syslog to send all logs ( system and file access) from filler to remote host.

1) Will this configuration allow me to achive that?

# $Id: //depot/prod/DOT/R8.0.3x/ontap/files/syslog.conf.sample#1 $

# Sample syslog.conf file. Copy to /etc/syslog.conf to use.

# You must use TABS for separators between fields.

# Log messages of priority info or higher to the console and to /etc/messages

*.info /dev/console

*.info /etc/messages

# Edit and uncomment following line to log all messages of priority

# err or higher and all kernel messages to a remote host, e.g. adminhost

# *.err;kern.* @adminhost

*.* @someIP

2) How can i forward logs from vfiler ( on the same host) via syslog?

Thank you.
