System Logging
Luna Network HSM gathers logs about appliance events, separate from events on the HSM itself. This chapter contains the following sections about system logging:
•Configuring a Remote Syslog Server
•Customizing Remote Logging Severity Levels
For HSM event logging, see Audit Logging.
About System Logging
Logs are managed with the syslog commands (see syslog), where you set rotation and other parameters to suit your own monitoring and management schedule. You can configure flexible logs to gather only information you consider relevant, or send different logs to different remote hosts.
NOTE Syslog format is in accordance with RFC 5424. See Syslog Introduction for information on reading and interpreting system log messages.
Log Severity Levels
Event logs are categorized according to the severity of their impact on the system. The table Table 1: syslog Severity Levels defines the different categories from most to least severe. You can customize logging to include events based on their severity.
Hardware Monitoring and Logging
1.SMART technology monitors the hard disk.
2.IPMI technology monitors CPU fan speed and temperature, as well as PSU (power supply unit) voltage, fan speed and temperature.
The system logs temperature changes of 2 degrees in either direction.
