Destination and Filtering of Audit Log Data
Audit log data is output to syslog. Because HDLM messages other than audit
log data are also output to syslog, we recommend that you specify the
output destination that is used exclusively for audit log data.
For example, to change the output destination of audit log data to /usr/
local/audlog, specify the following two settings:
•
Specify the following setting in the /etc/syslog.conf file:
local0.info /usr/local/audlog
• Use the HDLM command's set operation to specify local0 for the audit
log facility:
You can also filter the audit log output by specifying a severity level and type
for the HDLM command's set operation.
Filtering by severity:
The following table lists the severity levels that can be specified.
