Configuring Trusted Logging

Learn the procedure to configure Trusted Logging on the AIX® Audit subsystem, and syslog.

Configuring the AIX Audit subsystem
The AIX Audit subsystem can be configured to write binary data to a virtual log device in addition to writing logs to the local file system.
Configuring syslog
Syslog can be configured to write messages to virtual logs by adding rules to the /etc/syslog.conf file.
Writing data to virtual log devices
Arbitrary data is written to a virtual log device by opening the appropriate file in the /dev directory and writing data to the file. A virtual log can be opened by one process at a time.
