Operating Systems Solaris Local zone is not logging systems messages to /var/adm/messages Post 303035616 by samthewildone on Wednesday 29th of May 2019 11:27:22 AM

Local zone is not logging systems messages to /var/adm/messages

  • This is isolated to just 1 non-global zone out of many zones managed
  • This is a Solaris 11 system on SPARC
  • This is NOT a branded zone
  • syslogd is active

This came to our attention when one of our scripts didn't run over the weekend prompting us to check our messages logging in /var/adm/messages. To our surprise, there was no system error/activity logging to the file except dates. Simply our /var/adm/message* were all filled with just your typical date outputs. We have other zones on the same machine that do NOT have this issue, so it's isolated to just this zone.

Any suggestions aside from logger which, we did and it posted to the messages file ?

/var/adm/messages vs /var/log/messages

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux. I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK. Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things? (2 Replies)

ZPRINT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ZPRINT(1)

NAME
zprint -- show information about kernel zones SYNOPSIS
zprint [-cdhlLstw] [name] DESCRIPTION
zprint displays data about Mach zones (allocation buckets). By default, zprint will print out information about all Mach zones. If the optional name is specified, zprint will print information about each zone for which name is a substring of the zone's name. zprint interprets the following options: -c (Default) zprint prints zone info in columns. Long zone names are truncated with '$', and spaces are replaced with '.', to allow for sorting by column. Pageable and collectible zones are shown with 'P' and 'C' on the far right, respectively. Zones with pre- posterously large maximum sizes are shown with '----' in the max size and max num elts fields. -d Display deltas over time, showing any zones that have achieved a new maximum current allocation size during the interval. If the total allocation sizes are being displayed for the zones in question, it will also display the deltas if the total allocations have doubled. -h (Default) Shows headings for the columns printed with the -c option. It may be useful to override this option when sorting by column. -l (Default) Show all wired memory information after the zone information. -L Do not show all wired memory information after the zone information. -s zprint sorts the zones, showing the zone wasting the most memory first. -t For each zone, zprint calculates the total size of allocations from the zone over the life of the zone. -w For each zone, zprint calculates how much space is allocated but not currently in use, the space wasted by the zone. Any option (including default options) can be overridden by specifying the option in upper-case; for example, -C overrides the default option -c. DIAGNOSTICS
The zprint utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
