Verify that the system logging service
rsyslog
is running:
# service rsyslog status
rsyslogd (pid 1632) is running...
If the service is not running, start it and enable it to start when the system is rebooted:
#service rsyslog start
#chkconfig rsyslog on
Ensure that each log file referenced in
/etc/rsyslog.conf
exists and is owned and
only readable by root
:
#touch
#logfile
chown root:root
#logfile
chmod 0600
logfile
It is also recommended that you use a central log server and that you configure Logwatch on that server. See Section 25.7, “About System Logging”.
