- By default, <command>named</command> logs standard messages to the <command>rsyslog</command> daemon, which places them in <filename>/var/log/messages</filename>. This occurs because several standard channels are built into BIND with various severity levels, such as <command>default_syslog</command> (which handles informational logging messages) and <command>default_debug</command> (which specifically handles debugging messages). A default category, called <command>default</command>, uses the built-in channels to do normal logging without any special configuration.

Customizing the logging process can be a very detailed process and is beyond the scope of this chapter. For information on creating custom BIND logs, refer to the <citetitle>BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual</citetitle> referenced in <xref linkend="s2-bind-installed-docs"/>.
