6.8.5 Log Daemon Specific Configuration
The Log Daemon specific configuration entry can be created using the Logging Daemon
Configuration window. After the configuration entry is created, it can be viewed, updated, or
deleted through the same window.
From the HPSS Health and Status window (shown in Figure 6-1), click on the Admin menu, select
the Configure HPSS option and click on the Servers option. The HPSS Servers window will be
displayed as shown in Figure 6-5.
To add a new specific configuration, select the Log Daemon entry and click on the Type-specific...
button from the Configuration button group on the HPSS Servers window. The Logging Daemon
Configuration window will be displayed as shown in Figure 6-24 with default values. If the default
data is not desired, change the fields with the desired values. Click on the Add button to create the
configuration entry.
To update an existing configuration, select the Log Daemonentry on the HPSS Servers window and
click on the Type-specific... button from the Configuration button group. The Logging Daemon
Configuration window will be displayed with the configured data. After modifying the
configuration, click on the Update button to write the changes to the appropriate SFS file.

to local logging.
A combination of the following
values:
Log Daemon—Send log messages
to the central log.
Local LogFile—format and log
messages from servers on the same
node as the Log Client to a local
file.
It is an error if both Local LogFile
and Standard Output are both
specified.

Local Log
File
Advice: If neither Local LogFile nor Syslog is specified, no local logging will occur.
If Log Daemon is not specified, messages from HPSS processes executing on the
same node as this Log Client will not be written to the central log. The Syslog option
should be used with care. The syslog file will grow without bound until it is deleted/
truncated, or until the file system runs out of space.
