Thanks David but…

I have followed precisely your advises and It keeps on loging to /var/ log/messages instead of /var/log/sonic.log ??

!fw
*.*                         /var/log/sonic.log

Using tab instead and no spaces - restarting syslog - ??
I have also tried !firewall // no success //

My logs are coming from a remote host maybe this is the reason why it can't log to sonic.log ?

localhost --> 192.168.2.2

remote host --> 192.168.2.1


Any help would still be apreciated ?!?

Hello,


I am trying to log my sonicwall FW log to a specific file…

For the moment all logs are sent to /var/log/messages

I would like them to go to /var/log/sonic.log


I have tried couple of things which does not seem to work, among them :

> +fw.xxx.yyy
> local0.*           /var/log/sonic.log
> +@
--> not working

> local0.*           /var/log/sonic.log
--> not working either


In /var/log/messages my log are of that format :

> Dec 14 14:50:49 fw id=firewall sn=0006Bxxx4D6C time="2006-12-14
> 14:50:45" fw=80.98.206.97 pri=5 c=64 m=36 msg="TCP connection
> dropped" n=183 src=80.97.99.70:3763:WAN:89-90-99-70.pde.norby.ee
> dst=192.168.2.3:135:LAN:newmail.rmm.fr proto=tcp/135



Any help would be welcome.

Try installing those two lines in your syslog.conf(5) file and make
sure you use TAB instead of spaces.

!fw
*.*                         /var/log/sonic.log

Then issue a `sudo touch /var/log/sonic.log` as the file must exist
before syslogd(8) can write to it (i.e. syslogd(8) does not create
files).

After this run `sudo /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart` to instruct syslogd(8)
of the changes you've made to syslog.conf(5).

Finally, make sure you edit newsyslog.conf(5) with something like this
to keep your /var file system from filling up.

/var/log/sonic.log        www:wheel 640  7     100  *   J

man newsyslog.conf for more on newsyslog.conf(5)'s syntax.

Cheers,

David
