DESCRIPTION
The evmlogger.conf file is the Event Manager (EVM) logger configuration file. This file is read when
the logger program,
evmlogger starts, and when evmlogger reloads the configuration file.
When evmlogger reloads the configuration file, it reconfigures itself by reading its configuration file,
evmlogger.conf, again and updates its settings.
The EVM daemon starts the Event Manager (EVM) logger automatically at startup. The EVM logger reads
its configuration file to find a set of definitions of event logs and forwarders. By default, the EVM logger
reads its configuration from the /etc/evmlogger.conf file. The evmlogger -c config_file com-
mand can override the default configuration file by specifying a different file. See evmlogger(1M). If the
logger’s configuration file is changed while the logger is running, use the
evmreload -l command to
instruct the logger to reconfigure itself.
The logger also reconfigures itself upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal.
The evmlogger.conf file is a text file that contains values used to configure the event logger. The
values direct the display, forwarding, or storage of events. Any portion of a line from an unquoted number
sign (#) to the end of line is a comment. Blank lines are ignored.
Any number of event logs and forwarders can be defined in a configuration file. The following keywords are
recognized:
