Can not seperate DHCPD logs for syslog
I'm trying to separate DHCPD log from syslog file in Ubuntu 16.4 LTS.
In my dhcpd.conf file I have added:
log-facility local7;
And rsyslog.conf file:
#Logging for DHCP service
local7 /var/log/dhcp/dhcp.log
I have created dhcp folder and dhcp.log files.
Is it permission a issue?
dhcp rsyslog
