In the rsyslog.conf file, the rule on logging kernel messages to the console has been disabled like this,
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
However, I still got messages on all the consoles (that means when using multiple consoles, the message will be shown on all of them), as the following,
Message from syslogd@10.0.7.63 at Sep 8 15:51:28 ...
upgrade: APP Version not match, upgrade required!
Message from syslogd@10.0.7.63 at Sep 8 15:51:28 ...
upgrade: backup mtd6
Message from syslogd@10.0.7.63 at Sep 9 17:29:20 ...
kernel: Disabling IRQ #30
I need to receive log information from other devices on the internet, hence, the following command is added to the configure file,
$template DynaFile,"/var/log/system-%HOSTNAME%/%$YEAR%/%$MONTH%/%$DAY%/message.log"
*.* -?DynaFile
It works well.
I don't know how to avoid from receive the messages from the console. Could anyone here help me? Many thanks!
Operating System: Fedora Release 9 (Sulphur)
rsyslog V3
And I use "-c3 -x" to active receiving log information from internet devices.
