No log entries in /var/log/messages

[walcat_0]

Hi,

I am running IPSO 3.8.

I have noticed that there are no log entries in the /var/log/messages file or any of the archive message files.

From the clish i have performed the following

show logging
Syslog Parameters
Accept Syslog Messages from Remote Machines off
System Configuration Auditlog permanent
Destination Log Filename /var/log/messages
Voyager AuditLog on

The /var/log/messages file exisits, but i do not see any logging.

Does anyone have any ideas how i can get this going again, preferably without a reboot :-)

Thanks
Walcat

Are you out of disk space? Do you get logs on the console if you leave it open? Is the syslog daemon running?

df -k
ps auxww | grep syslog

Greg,

I checked out the diskspace, results below

df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0f 599941 82890 469056 15% /
/dev/wd0a 38193 90 35048 0% /config
/dev/wd0d 29370489 402568 26618282 1% /var
/dev/wd0e 4994605 228151 4366886 5% /opt
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc

And from the PS command i could not see syslog running, im guessing this must be my problem is it easy to restart without being service impacting ?


Thanks for your help

Any thoughts guys ?

Suggestion of reboot has been passed by me, but hoping this can be resolved without being service impacting, was hoping the syslogd could be restarted without a reboot ???

Thanks

you need to reboot NOKIA appliance to run set syslog from clish

Thanks for the reply

So the only way to restart the syslog daemon is to reboot the appliance ?

Was hoping that wouldnt be the answer
