Hi Gunjan,

If I'm not wrong this depends on your syslog daemon.

For example using rsyslog, you have an /etc/rsyslog.conf file
useful for configuring rsyslog.

If you are talking about kernel messages than adding:

kern.debug                         -/your/debug/file.txt
kern.info                               -/your/info/file.txt

HTH,
Daniel.
