their product or kernel subsystem during installation. However, a system administrator or
other users with appropriate privileges can use it to reconfigure the default level of messages
that are logged for a given subsystem. Refer to the nettlconf(1M) manpage for complete
information on using this command.
NOTE It is not recommended that nettlconf be used to change any other aspects of
the Kernel Logging infrastructure specified in the /etc/nettlgen.conf file. If
this file becomes corrupted, the kl and netfmt commands will not function.
Using SAM to Administer Kernel Logging
Many of the system administrator’s tasks discussed in the previous sections can be
accomplished with SAM (System Administration Manager), a tool that provides an
easy-to-use graphical interface for system setup and other administrative tasks. If you have
appropriate privileges, or are logged in as root, you can access SAM by entering the command
/usr/sbin/sam
Once SAM is up and running, the KL administrative interface can be reached by the following
path: select Kernel Configuration -> Configurable Parameters -> Actions -> Kernel
Logging.
SAM has online help to assist you. You can also refer to the chapter “Using System
Administration Manager” in “Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX
System Administrators” for complete information on its use.
