Linux syslog
The syslog contains all events detected by the Server Hardware Manager Monitor service on Linux. This log includes warning and critical
events. The contents of this le is viewed in the syslog.
Monitor Conguration File
NOTE: Modifying the Monitor logging conguration le can disable or disrupt logging functionality. Make a copy of the le
before attempting any modications.
The Monitor logging conguration le is named ServerHardwareManager_Logger.properties. It is located in the
ServerHardwareManagerMonitor subdirectory under the main install directory.
Logging Functionality Modication Directions
To change the log folder location:
• Modify the line starting with log4cplus.appender.file.File=<fullpath including lename of desired log location.
To add Linux syslog logging (Linux OS’s only):
• Add SYSLOG string to thelog4cplus.rootLogger entry. For example, log4cplus.rootLogger=WARN,le,SYSLOG
SNMP
SNMP is another avenue that the Server Hardware Manager Monitor uses to present events to the user. Only critical events are sent by
using SNMP. The Server Hardware Manager Monitor sends traps to destinations that are contained in the Server Hardware Manager
Monitor conguration le (SHM.cong).
SNMP traps are generated only for critical events.
The Server Hardware Manager Monitor conguration le is located in the installation directory. The following is the default location of the
conguration les.

Although the Server Hardware Manager Monitor runs automatically after installation, congure a trap destination in the conguration le
for SNMP to function correctly. A trap destination has the following format:
ip=ipaddress[:port]
For example,
ip=192.168.1.1:1050
• Address — The IP address of the destination
• Port — Port on the target server the trap receiver listens
See the documentation of the trap listener for the port number it uses. If no port is specied, Storage Enclosure Monitor sends traps to the
default port – 162.
