We just upgraded data ontap to 6.1R1 the other day
... from 5.something, I imagine ...
andlines like following stopped getting appended to "etc/messages" of the filer! syslog.conf has not changed. We like to have those lines back.
Does anyone know why?

You should be getting lines like
Tue Jun 12 00:00:00 BST [kern.uptime.filer:info]: 12:00am up 32 days, 11:28 181371454 NFS ops, 0 CIFS ops, 0 HTTP ops
instead. These go to /etc/messages, and to the logged-on telnet and/or console session, if any. A change in 6.x is that they don't go to the console if it isn't logged in. (Also beware the autologout.telnet.{enable,timeout} options in 6.0 & later and autologout.console.{enable,timeout} options in 6.1.)
If they really aren't going to /etc/messages, and your /etc/syslog.conf is really unmodified from the default, then it's more of a mystery. The messages come through the new "ems" mechanism (Event Management System): you haven't done anything to disable that? Can you see them in /etc/log/ems?
