Question & Answer
Question
How do I setup syslog in such a way as to capture all relevant messages and errors from TSAMP and RSCT sub-systems, and the DB2 automation scripts ?
Answer
The RSCT and TSAMP daemon messages use the following facility and priorities to log to the syslog:
daemon:info
daemon:notice
The DB2 start/stop/monitor scripts use the following facility and priorities to log their messages to syslog:
user:info
user:debug
Therefore the following entry in the /etc/syslog.conf file would cover all and includes archiving every 24 hours with a history of 14 days:
*.debug /var/log/syslog.out rotate time 1d files 14
IMPORTANT: You will need to manually create the log file if it does not already exists before then refreshing the syslogd subsystem to pick up the changed configuration:
1. Create the new syslog output file:
2. Restart syslogd to pick up the changes to its config file (/etc/syslog.conf)
Note: syslogs must be enabled on each server explicitly.
If you are using syslog-ng, refer to the following technote instead:
daemon:info
daemon:notice
