Error notification for the KSYS events

The KSYS subsystem tracks various events that occur in the environment and saves the information in the /var/ksys/events.log file. The KSYS subsystem also sends emails and text notifications to the administrator if the contact information is registered while configuring the KSYS subsystem.

You can run the following command to list all events that can be notified:
ksysmgr query event
The events are categorized as critical errors, warnings, and informational events. To query all events of a specific event type, use the following command:
ksysmgr query event type=error|warning|info
The following table lists the common error events that are monitored by the KSYS subsystem:
