The flat file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log is not suitable for storing every event which can happen on a HP-UX 11.11 system (I assume that is what you mean by 11i) ... or any unix system for that matter.

There are separate detailed but compact databases maintained by the Enviromental Mangement System (EMS) to record all hardware events including the trivia such as correctible memory errors and routine changes of exchangeable media. Any serious hardware errors are also recorded in syslog.log and each message includes the EMS command to get the detail of the error.

I feel that you are presenting us with your non-viable solution to your problem, rather than presenting the problem itself.

I still suggest that you approach HP in your own language with your requirement. They may try to sell you HP Vantagepoint (aka Openview) and some consultancy.

HP-UX system fault information

I want to do some fault association analysis in HP-UX. where I can get all of the system fault information, also the detailed description. The most important is the information I want, not just the fault occured on my computer, but all possible fault that the system may be happened, it is just like a repository.
Thank you very much.

Your English is hard to follow.

I think that you are asking for a database of every possible fault which could occur on a HP-UX system.
The hardware and software error monitoring is extensive in HP-UX and this would be a very large database.
I don't believe that this information is available outside of HP.

Please bear in mind that the more serious hardware errors are monitored by the GSP (Guardian Service Processor) and reported to HP-UX where this is possible. The GSP may be actually be called something else depending on what hardware you have.

I also wonder why you want to take this approach. I've never come across a situation where it is necessary. If you do not purchase a commercial monitoring suite of programs, then it is necessary to write your own.

Thanks for answer. Your understanding is correct. I just want to get that database. When I know every possible fault, I can do some association analysis in network management field. To do so, can reduce the alarm number.
