Use Syslog
The BlueScale Syslog feature sends all system messages logged by the
library to a previously configured Syslog server. Syslog is a standard for
forwarding log messages over an Internet Protocol (IP) computer network.
It provides separation of the software that generates log messages from the
system that stores the messages.
Each system message the library sends to the Syslog server contains the
original system message posted by the library and the remedy information
associated with the system message.
