Before you start, determine the logging rules that select the messages that you want syslogd to pass to the region.
A facility name and a priority code define a logging rule. For locally generated messages, the rule can include the user ID and job name of the program that generated the message. For messages arriving over the network, the rule can include the IP address or host name of the sender. The logging rule forms part of a syslogd rule configuration statement.
This rule configuration statement has the following format:
[(host).|user_id.job_name.]facility.priority pipe_path_name
Specifies the destination to which syslogd passes the messages. The region uses a UNIX System Services (USS) named pipe (or first-in-first-out (FIFO) special file) for this purpose. You can use the region default or can use your own pipe. The parameter specifies the absolute path name of the pipe.
Default: /etc/nmtcpip.region_acb_name.syslogd.pipe (region_acb_name is the name of the primary ACB for the region.)
Note: For information about syslogd rule configuration statements, see IBM z/OS Communications Server IP Configuration Reference.
Example: Pass Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Daemon Messages
This example tells syslogd to pass IKE daemon messages with a priority of notice or higher to the REGION01 region:
local4.notice /etc/nmtcpip.REGION01.syslogd.pipe
