IBM AIX Syslog

IBM AIX Syslog monitors logs, which are available in the AIX system.

Forwarding all logs to the Logmanager server

  1. Edit the configuration file /etc/syslog.conf.

  2. Insert the following code inside:

    *.debug @<Logmanager_IP_address>
    
    Logmanager_IP_address is the IP address of your Logmanager server.
  3. Activate the configuration with the command:

    stopsrc -s syslogd
    chssys -s syslogd -n
    startsrc -s syslogd
    
    Parameter -n suppresses the “Message forwarded from <log_host_name>: ” string added to the beginning of the syslog message that is forwarded to a remote log host.
