logging facility

Sets the Syslog facility to be used by CNA when logging messages to remote hosts.

logging facility <name>
 
no logging facility
 

• name--facility to be used; can be one of the following strings:
• auth--authorization system
• cron--cron facility
• daemon--system daemon
• kern--kernel
• local<n>--locally defined; n is an integer in the range 0 through 7, such as local0 or local7
• lpr--line printer
• mail--mail system
• news--USENET news
• sys<n>--system use; n is an integer in the range 9 through 14, such as sys9 or sys14
• syslog--system log
• user--user process
• uucp--UNIX-to-UNIX copy system

Must be in configuration mode (config), which requires privileged-level access.

Use once.

Default facility is local0.

The no form of the command resets the logging facility to its default value.

CNA uses its own logging process, logfilterd, to write logging messages. However, these messages conform to the Syslog standard and can be written to remote hosts for archiving.

See the logging, logging buffered, logging console, and logging on commands.
