1.11.4 Example Log Configuration Setup

An example sequence of setting up a log management system would be as follows:

• Create a log filter - Use the CREATE LOG FILTER=<filter name> command to create a name for a set of

logs, called the filterid, and set up a criteria so logs that meet that criteria are collected together and associ-

ated with that filterid.

• Create a log output - Use the CREATE LOG OUTPUT=<output name> command to create a name for the

destination for the logs (called an outputid), set up the attributes for that destination (such as an IP address),

and specify the log format.

• Associate the filterid with the outputid - Use the ADD FILTER OUTPUT=<output name> command to

associate the filterid with the outputid so that logs filtered in a certain way are sent to a certain destination.

The log format can be set to FULL, SUMMARY, or MSGONLY by using the FORMAT keyword with the

CREATE

LOG OUTPUT

or the SET LOG OUTPUT command. The FULL format displays the entire log message. The SUM-

MARY format displays only the category, timestamp, and log type. The MSGONLY format displays only the log

message. A comparison of the formats is shown in Figure 1-9.
