3.4.8 Syslog output when SUSE Linux 15 or later is used
This manual assumes that the log information of UNIX OSs is output to syslog. However, if you are running SUSE Linux 15 or later, by default, log information is output to journals only, not to syslog (a text file).
If you want to output OS log information to syslog (as in normal cases), perform the following procedure so that the log information output to journals is transferred to syslog.
-
Install the rsyslog package.
rsyslog-8.33.1-x.xx.x86_64
-
Make sure that the setting for transferring information to syslog is enabled.
/etc/systemd/journald.conf
ForwardToSyslog=yes#
# If the setting for transferring information to syslog is commented out, the default setting yes is applied.
-
Start rsyslog.
systemctl start rsyslog
