Using the syslog daemon
XPath OS can be configured to send error log messages to a UNIX
®
or Linux® host system or a host
running any other operating system that supports standard syslogd functionality. This host system can be
configured to receive error messages from the MP Router and store them in files on the computer hard
drive, which overcomes the size limitations of the internal log buffers.
The syslogd process reads and logs messages to the system console, log files, other machines, and users,
as specified by its configuration file. See the manual pages and related documentation for your particular
UNIX host system for more information on the syslogd process and its capabilities.
XPath OS syslogd CLI commands
Table 15 shows the commands related to the syslogd configuration. See the HP StorageWorks XPath OS
7.4.x command reference guide for more details.
