Configuring syslog alerts

Syslog is an industry standard for logging system messages. It is used by all Linux and UNIX distributions. Use Syslogs to view log file entries for IBM® Spectrum LSF RTM.

Setting up syslog on a cluster
Syslog messages and SNMP Traps are important for normal operation of your cluster. Syslog messages include a priority (such as alert, critical, error, and warning), facility (such as cron, auth, authpriv, mail, and syslog), the logger, and a message. The system adds a timestamp of when the message occurred. If you configure Syslog and SNMP trap properly, then you can view logs in one file.
Configuring RTM to write to Syslog
To see IBM Spectrum LSF RTM logs in Syslog, go to Console > Configuration > Settings. In the General tab, see the Log Settings section.
Creating syslog alerts
The Syslogs Settings section displays Syslog alerts and allows you to create new syslog alerts. Go to Console > Syslog Settings.
