Browsing syslogd files and archives

After you start the syslogd browser, you can browse syslogd files and archives in the panel that displays the list of active UNIX files that syslogd is writing to.

Perform the following steps to list all syslogd rules that have been configured with a UNIX file name destination:

Press Enter in the panel that you start in Starting the syslogd browser.
Optional: Select one of the following primary options:
Tip: You can choose to work with the list of files without using these options.
- 1 Change current syslogd configuration file and/or options
- 2 Guide me to a possible syslogd destination
- 3 Clear guide-me hits (indicated by ==> in the Cmd column)
- 4 Search across all active syslogd files
For detailed information about the primary options, see Syslogd browser display panel option descriptions.
Optional: You can use line commands on each destination entry that was found in the syslogd configuration. For more information about line commands, see Syslogd browser display panel line commands.
Press ENTER to select an entry or the END PF key to exit the syslogd browser

Example:

The following example lists all syslogd rules that have been configured with a UNIX file name destination. Any syslogd rules that use /dev destinations (/dev/console, /dev/operlog, and so on), user IDs, remote syslogd servers, or AF_UNIX named pipes are not included in this list.
