chsyslogserver [ -nameserver_name ] [ -ipip_address ] [ -facilityfacility ] [ -error { on | off } ] [ -warning { on | off } ] [ -info { on | off } ] [ -cadf { on | off } ] { syslog_server_name | syslog_server_id }
Parameters
- -nameserver_name

on, warning notifications are sent to the syslog server. Set to
off, warning notifications are not sent to the syslog server.

on, information notifications are sent to the syslog server. Set to
off, information notifications are not sent to the syslog server.
- -cadfon|off
- (Optional) Specifies that Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) data reporting be turned
on or off. Any syslog notifications sent to the server are

Description
Use this command to change
the settings of an existing syslog server. You must specify either the current name of the
server or the ID returned at creation time. Use the lssyslogserver command to
obtain this ID.
For syslog servers, SNMP servers, and email users with type set
to
local, the valid combinations of notification types are:
- -error, -warning, and -info
- -error and -warning
If you disable CADF notifications for a syslog
server that has CADF notification enabled, the facility value must be set to
0.
