Syslog issue

[nawas]

I have installed a fresh copy of LMS3.0 on Solaris 10 but I don't get any syslog reports. When I go in var/log/syslog_info there are no messages in the file. Do I need to update anything else for syslog to get the messages in syslog_info?

[nawas]

Restarted syslogd, regenerated the message but stil it didn't make it to syslog_info. I have attached the snoop capture.

Post the output of ps -efl and netstat -an.

Syslog is running, but not bound to udp/514. Post the output of:

svcprop svc:/system/system-log:default

Here is the output

This is what I thought. Your syslog service is not configured to allow remote message reception. Run these commands as root:

svccfg -s svc:/system/system-log setprop config/log_from_remote = true

svcadm refresh svc:/system/system-log

Then you should be receiving remote messages.

nop that didn't work, stil no syslog. Here is the updated svcprop

Try forcing a restart of syslogd:

svcadm disable svc:/system/system-log

svcadm enable svc:/system/system-log

That did it. It's working now.

Thanks a lot for all your help Joe. I knew you would resolve it.
