syslog_evm.conf(4)					     Kernel Interfaces Manual						syslog_evm.conf(4)

NAME

       syslog_evm.conf - EVM syslog subscription configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       facility.priority

DESCRIPTION

       The  syslog_evm.conf file is a text file that specifies what syslog messages will be forwarded from the syslog daemon to the Event Manager,
       EVM,in the form of EVM events.  Those syslog messages are posted to the EVM daemon evmd by syslogd if the syslogd  forwarding  function	is
       turned on with the -e flag.  Events are posted with the EVM name of sys.unix.syslog.facility-name.

       This configuration file is read every time syslogd starts, or is restarted by a SIGHUP signal.  If the file does not exist, or if it exists
       but contains no subscription lines, no syslog messages will be posted to EVM.

       Each line in the file controls the forwarding of one syslog event.  Lines beginning with the # character are considered	comments  and  are
       ignored.  Only one subscription per line is permitted.  Mixing a subscription and a comment on the same line is not allowed.

       Each  line has the format facility.priority[+].	Specifies the part of the system that generated the message.  Legal values are the follow-
       ing: All messages.  Messages generated by the kernel.  Messages generated by user processes.  Messages generated by the mail system.   Mes-
       sages  generated  by  system  daemons.	Messages generated by the authorization system.  Messages generated internal to the syslog system.
       Messages generated by the line printer spooling system.	Messages generated by the system news command.	Messages generated by the UNIX	to
       UNIX  copy  system.   Messages  generated by the system clock daemon.  Messages generated by remote file systems.  Available for local use.
       Indicates the priority of the message.  If the priority is followed by a + character, events which are of the specified priority or  higher
       are forwarded; otherwise only events which exactly match the priority are forwarded.

	      The priority level must be one of the following: Forward messages of any priority.  Forward messages of emergency priority.  Forward
	      messages of alert priority.  Forward messages of critical priority.  Forward messages of error priority.	Forward messages of  warn-
	      ing priority.  Forward messages of notice priority.  Forward messages of information priority.  Forward messages of debug priority.

EXAMPLES

       This  example causes syslogd to forward events to EVM as follows: All messages of emergency priority are forwarded.  All messages generated
       in the kernel which have a priority of info or greater are forwarded.  All messages generated by users, by the mail  subsystem  or  by  the
       system daemons which have a priority of info or greater are forwarded.

       *.emerg kern.info+ user.notice+ mail.notice+ daemon.notice+

NAME

       initlog - log messages and events to the system logger

SYNOPSIS

       initlog [-cefnpqrs] [--cmd=ARG] [--event=ARG] [--facility=ARG] [--name=ARG] [--priority=ARG] [--run=ARG] [--string=ARG]

DESCRIPTION

       initlog	logs  messages and events to the system logger.  It is mainly designed for use in init scripts. initlog reads a configuration file
       /etc/initlog.conf by default, to determine its settings. Any line preceded with a # is a comment, and the  following  configuration  direc-
       tives are recognized:

       facility <logging facility>
	      Sets the default logging facility

       priority <logging priority>
	      Sets the default logging priority

       ignore <regexp>
	      Messages that match the regular expression will not be logged.

       initlog behavior can also be configured by command-line options.

   OPTIONS
       -c, --cmd=[program]
	      Execute the specified program, logging anything output to stdout or stderr.

       -e, --event=[number]
	      Logs that the specified event happened. Used in conjuction with --name. Currently specified events are:
	       1  the action completed successfully
	       2  the action failed
	       3  the action was cancelled at user request
	       4  the action failed due to the failure of a dependent action

       -f, --facility=[facility]
	      Log at the specified syslog facility. The default is daemon (see syslog(3)).

       -n, --name=[string]
	      Log the event under the specified string, such as "inetd".

       -p, --priority=[priority]
	      Log at the specified syslog priority. The default is notice (see syslog(3)).

       -q     Do not print the program's output, unless it exits with a non-zero exit code.

       -r, --run=[program]
	      Execute the specified program, with an open file descriptor so that the program can pass back commands to initlog.

       -s, --string=[string]
	      Log the specified string to the logger.

       --conf=[file]
	      Specifies an alternate configuration file.
