PowerScale OneFS 9.3.0.0 CLI Administration Guide

Syslog

Syslog is a protocol that is used to convey certain event notification messages. You can configure a PowerScale cluster to log audit events and forward them to syslog by using the syslog forwarder.

By default, all protocol events that occur on a particular node are forwarded to the /var/log/audit_protocol.log file, regardless of the access zone the event originated from. All the config audit events are logged to /var/log/audit_config.log by default.

Syslog is configured with an identity that depends on the type of audit event that is being sent to it. It uses the facility daemon and a priority level of info. The protocol audit events are logged to syslog with the identity audit_protocol. The config audit events are logged to syslog with the identity audit_config.

To configure auditing on a PowerScale cluster, you must either be a root user or you must be assigned to an administrative role that includes auditing privileges (ISI_PRIV_AUDIT).

CAUTION: If the size of an audit event is greater than 65,535, that log event is discarded and the file access operation that caused the event fails.
