AppendixA Logging

Viewing Logs

Messages can originate from the following locations or facilities:

•user—User processes from the CSR application.

•kern—Kernel

•mail—Mail system

•daemon—System daemons

•auth—Authorization system, such as login or su.

•lpr—Print spooler

•news—Network new systems

Examples

ExampleA-1 Syslog sends all error messages from all locations to the console for everyone

*.err /dev/console

ExampleA-2 Syslog sends all error messages generated from the kernel to the /var/adm/kern_messages file

kern.err /var/adm/kern_messages

ExampleA-3 Syslog sends all error messages, notice messages and error message from the authorization system to /var/adm/some_messages file

*.err,*.notice,auth.err /var/adm/some_messages

ExampleA-4 Syslog sends error messages to console and /var/adm/messages file separately

*.err /dev/console

*.err /var/adm/messages

Note Log messages can be captured in more than one location.

ExampleA-5 Syslog sends message to the adminuser email address on the system

*.emerg adminuser

Note Instead of adminuser, an asterisk (*) may be used. This sends the message to all e-mail accounts.

Viewing Logs

To view logs generated by the CSR application, check your syslog configuration file. Error logs are located in /var/adm/messages. Each log contain the following information:

•Date the log entry was generated

•Time the log entry was generated
