Configuring System Logging for a GSS
By default, the GSS maintains system logged records in the gss.log file on the
hard disk. You can change the location to log files to a remote host machine.
Decisions about what level of GSS logging to use can be made globally, or
configured on a subsystem-by-subsystem basis. For example, you can configure
the primary GSSM to log all error-level messages, but also configure the node
manager (nodemgr) to log a larger set of all notice-level messages.
To set specific parameters for the GSS system log file, use the logging command.
To disable logging functions, use the no form of this command.
The default logging settings include:
• Logging to disk: Enabled
• Priority of message for disk: 5
• Priority of message for host: 4
• Log filename: /state/gss.log
• Log file recycle size: 10 Mbytes
• Maximum number of log files: 25
This section includes the following procedures:
• Specifying a Log File on the GSS Disk
• Specifying a Host for a Log File Destination
Specifying a Log File on the GSS Disk
To send log information to the gss.log file on the GSS hard disk, use the logging
disk command. By default, logging to disk is enabled.
The syntax for the command is:
logging disk {enable | priority loglevel | subsystem name priority loglevel}
