I have below steps for a broker on Linux, where i do see /var/log/messages folder. But in Solaris i dont see /var/log/messages folder. So not sure what will the below step needs to be replaced with : authpriv.*Â /var/log/messages
· Log on as root
· touch /var/mqsi/syslog/syslog.user
· chown mqadmin:mqbrkrs /var/mqsi/syslog/syslog.user
· chmod 640 /var/mqsi/syslog/syslog.user
· Add the following line to the /etc/syslog.conf :
/etc/syslog.conf
# MQ Specific logging
# MQ Specific logging
user.debug /var/mqsi/syslog/syslog.user
authpriv.*Â /var/log/messages
· Restart the syslog daemon |

I think the Solaris equivalent is /var/adm/messages

You should really ask your Solaris admin this but AFAIK the first line directs user messages of debug or higher (and broker emits messages as "user") to that log file. If there's anything else on the box that uses "user" it will capture those as well. The second line captures security errors to the named log file, adding weight to my belief that's the location of the OS syslog in Solaris.

As well as all messages from other software using the same config, and I would urge you to speak to the OS admin before making changes to syslog.conf, even if you have the root access to do so.

No.
The "user" literal is the facility broker uses - see here and here.

user.debug /var/mqsi/syslog/syslog.user
user.debug is not logging anything to the broker log |

Speak to your Solaris sys prog. Which I recommended you do first.

Then repost your question on a Solaris forum.
If the syslog daemon isn't outputting anything then it's a problem with the daemon.
It's of course possible broker isn't sending anything to the log, but I discount that possibility. You should at least see start up and shut down info messages.
You could try testing it with *.info and see if that catches anything. If that doesn't work either the daemon is definitely hosed.
