Enabling syslog Logging for IPQoS Messages

To record IPQoS boot-time messages, you need to modify the /etc/syslog.conf file as shown in the next procedure.

How to Enable Logging of IPQoS Messages During Booting

1. Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser, on the IPQoS-enabled system.

   The Primary Administrator role includes the Primary Administrator profile. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

2. Open the /etc/syslog.conf file.
3. Add the following text as the final entry in the file.

   user.info /var/adm/messages

   Use tabs rather than spaces between the columns.

   The entry logs all boot-time messages that are generated by IPQoS into the /var/adm/messages file.

4. Reboot the system to apply the messages.

Example 35-1 IPQoS Output From /var/adm/messages

When you view /var/adm/messages after system reboot, your output might contain IPQoS logging messages that are similar to the following.

Configuration flushed.

You might also see IPQoS error messages that are similar to the following in your IPQoS system's /var/adm/messages file.
