I am trying to configure the IBMi to log to a syslog server.

The documents I have found a very brief on an examples.

From what I can understand I need to do the following;

STRQSH and run command touch /QOpenSys/etc/syslog.conf to create the
empty configuration file.

Add the specific configuration - all I have so far is

@<IP_Address>

The to start the syslog daemon run;

SBMJOB CMD(STRQSH CMD('/QOpenSys/usr/sbin/syslogd')) JOB(SYSLOGD)
JOBQ(QSYSNOMAX)

To verify the syslogd daemon is started STRQSH and run the following
command

ps -ef | grep syslogd

Which gives me the following output

ps -ef | grep syslogd
qsecofr 538657 1 08-06-2020 14:15:42 - 00:00
pgm-syslogd
$

So I presume this is indicating it is running ?

I am working from the following documents;

https://ibmsystemsmag.com/Trends/11/2017/ibm-i-embraces-syslog (IBMi
Embraces Syslog)

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/634791 (Syslog / Syslogd in PASE
for IBMi

Could anyone provide a working example or suggested reading ?

Thanks

Don
