Log Integration Guide

Log Integration procedure:

To forward logs, make the following configuration.

1. Login to the Terminal of AIX

2. Enable Syslog daemon & log forwarding.

Activate syslog daemon to write into /var/log/syslog.out files.

In /etc/syslog.conf uncomment the following entry or add if it is not present:

*.debug /var/log/syslog.out rotate size 100k files 4

Also add the following lines to the syslog configuration file located in /etc/syslog.conf at the end of the file.

*.info @10.20.100.161

*.alert @10.20.100.161

*.notice @10.20.100.161

*.debug @10.20.100.161

*.err @10.20.100.161

*.crit @10.20.100.161

*.emerg @10.20.100.161

Replace 10.20.100.161 with Log Collector IP of specific branch.

Save the changes.

Create the log file in case it does not exist:

touch /var/log/syslog.out

Restart the syslog daemon.

refresh -s syslogd
