If you use Ctrl + C to cancel the dlmgetrasinst utility for collecting
HDLM installation error information, audit log data indicating that the
dlmgetrasinst utility has terminated will not be output.
Requirements for Outputting Audit Log Data
HDLM can output audit log data when all of the following conditions are
satisfied:
• The syslog daemon is active.
• The output of audit log data has been enabled by using the HDLM
command's set operation.
However, audit log data might still be output regardless of the above
conditions if, for example, an HDLM utility is executed from external media.
#
#:
The following audit log data is output:
¢
Categories: StartStop, Authentication, and ConfigurationAccess
¢
Severity: 6 (Critical, Error, Warning, or Informational)
¢
Destination: syslog (facility value: user)
Note:
¢
Enable syslog since syslog is disabled by default in AIX.
For details on how to enable syslog, see
Destination and Filtering of
Audit Log Data on page 2-38 or the AIX documentation.
¢
You might need to perform operations such as changing the log size
and backing up and saving collected log data, because the amount of
audit log data might be quite large.
¢
If the severity specified by the HDLM command's set operation differs
from the severity specified by the configuration file /etc/
syslog.conf, the higher severity level is used for outputting audit log
data.
Destination and Filtering of Audit Log Data
Audit log data is output to syslog. Because HDLM messages other than audit
log data are also output to syslog, we recommend that you specify the
output destination that is used exclusively for audit log data.
For example, to change the output destination of audit log data to /usr/
local/audlog, specify the following two settings:
