View Log Files (Oracle Solaris)
The error logging daemon, syslogd, automatically records various system warnings, errors, and
faults in message files. These messages can alert you to system problems such as a device that
is about to fail. For example, drive faults are usually captured by the Oracle Solaris message
files.
The /var/adm directory contains several message files. The most recent messages are in
the /var/adm/messages file. After a period of time (usually every week), a new messages
file is automatically created. The original contents of the messages file are rotated to a file
named messages.1. Over a period of time, the messages are further rotated to messages.2 and
messages.3, and then deleted.
