To Configure HP-UX to Accept syslog alerts

1. Add the appropriate facility to the syslog configuration file.

   For example, to store all alerts using the USER facility, add the following line to /etc/syslog.conf:

   user.info       /var/adm/info

   Here /var/adm/info is an example local directory in which messages will be stored. Ensure that /var/adm/info exists before continuing.

2. Restart the syslogd daemon.

   $ /sbin/init.d/syslogd stop | start

3. Verify that messages are logged in syslog.

   $ logger -p user.info "Test message"
   $ cat /var/adm/info
