Syslogd browser

The syslogd browser is a TSO/ISPF application that you can use to search and browse the following syslogd message locations:

Input to the syslogd browser is the name of a syslogd configuration file or data set.

Rules:
  • You must use the syslogd browser on a z/OS® system that has access to the active syslogd UNIX files as well as the syslogd archive data sets.
  • If UNIX file systems and MVS data sets are accessible from all logical partitions (LPARs) in a z/OS sysplex, you can use the syslogd browser on any of those LPARs to access the syslogd data on any other LPAR in the z/OS sysplex; otherwise, you must use the syslogd browser on the individual LPARs to view syslogd data from each of those LPARs.
  • The TSO user ID that is using the syslogd browser must have the permissions that are required to read the configuration file, access the log files, and access the archive data sets.
