I am trying to get my PIX to syslog to its own file. I have configured my syslog server the same as for my routers. Local# goes to s specific log file and added the necessary logging commands to the PIX. Just to make sure things are running I also have a *.info log defined. My pix is sending messages to the *.info file fine but is sending nothing to my local# file. doI need to reset the PIX if I add/change the logging commands? I have attached my syslog.conf and my logging commands. Is there somethng else I am missing? I have reloaded the syslog server.</P><P></P><P> </P><P></P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 07:42:14 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/unable-to-chage-syslog-in-pix/m-p/397206#M555897 bberry 2020-02-21T07:42:14Z Re: unable to chage syslog in PIX https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/unable-to-chage-syslog-in-pix/m-p/397207#M555900 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I would first verify that the PIX is sending the syslog information by using 'show logging'.
