Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you edit the file /etc/syslog.conf, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
Comments must be on a separate line and must begin with a pound sign (#).
No redundant spaces are allowed after the file name.
The logging facility name and the severity level specified in the /etc/syslog.conf file must be the same as those configured on the device. Otherwise, the log information might not be output correctly to the log host. The logging facility name and the severity level are configured by using the info-center loghost and info-center source commands, respectively.
