We have working example here:
https://www.i2rest.com/index.php/I2Rest_with_syslog
It is shown how to store syslog messages locally.
If you would like to forward messages to another syslog server, add something like this:
*.debug @<IP_Address>
to conf file. *.debug will forward all messages with severity level up to and including debug.

Subject : Configuring IBMi to log to Syslog server

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
