-
- The Desktop System Monitor includes these subsystems:
-
- _s_y_s_m_o_n._b_o_o_k_s._E_r_r_o_r_H_e_l_p This subsystem contains help
- information for system
- messages. These are the help
- cards available from the
- system Alert dialogs.
-
- _s_y_s_m_o_n._b_o_o_k_s._H_e_l_p This subsystem contains help
- information for the Desktop
- System Monitor applications.
-
- _s_y_s_m_o_n._m_a_n._s_y_s_m_o_n This subsystem contains manual
- pages for the Desktop System
- Monitor programs.
-
- _s_y_s_m_o_n._s_w._n_o_t_i_f_i_e_r This subsystem contains tools
- for providing desktop
- notification of critical
- system errors.
-
- _s_y_s_m_o_n._s_w._v_i_e_w_e_r This subsystem contains the
- System Log Viewer.

- _R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
-
- This section lists the subsystems (and their sizes) of the
- Desktop System Monitor option.
-
- If you are installing this option for the first time, the
- subsystems marked ``default'' are the ones that are
- installed if you use the ``go'' menu item. To install a
- different set of subsystems, use the ``install,''
- ``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step'' commands in _i_n_s_t to
- customize the list of subsystems to be installed, then
- select the ``go'' menu item.
-
- Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
- the _I_R_I_X _A_d_m_i_n: _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _a_n_d _L_i_c_e_n_s_i_n_g
- for information on finding exact sizes.

- The file /etc/syslog.conf must contain the line:
-
- """"****....ccccrrrriiiitttt ||||////uuuussssrrrr////ssssbbbbiiiinnnn////ssssyyyyssssmmmmoooonnnnpppppppp ////vvvvaaaarrrr////aaaaddddmmmm////SSSSYYYYSSSSLLLLOOOOGGGG""""
-
- This line must only be delimited by tabs. By default, this
- should be installed from the eoe.sw.unix subsystem. If you
- have modified your local /etc/syslog.conf file, merge in
- this line from the file /etc/syslog.conf.N and type 'killall
- 1 syslogd' to enable system error notification. If you do
- not install or use the system monitor's notification, you
-

-
- may remove the sysmon subsystem and remove the sysmonpp line
- from /etc/syslog.conf. Removal of this filter will only
- effect the notification system, it will not effect the
- System Log Viewer, _s_y_s_m_o_n(1M).
-
- The _s_y_s_e_r_r_p_a_n_e_l(1M) program can be used to configure system
- error notification for each user. _s_y_s_e_r_r_p_a_n_e_l(1M) can be
- launched from the Desktop Customize System Alerts Toolchest.
- A configuration file $HOME/.syserr is saved in the user's
- home directory. If this file does not exist, the system
- defaults are read from /usr/lib/sysmon/syserr.config. Below
- is an example of that file with the default values:
-
- NNNNOOOOTTTTIIIIFFFFIIIICCCCAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN====1111
- AAAAUUUUDDDDIIIIOOOO====1111
-
- NNNNOOOOTTTTIIIIFFFFIIIICCCCAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN can be turned on or off (set to 1 or 0), via
- the syserrpanel(1M) visual notification button. If visual
- notification is off, you will not be notified of critical
- errors on the desktop, but they will still be recorded in
- the IRIX console window and the system log
- (/var/adm/SYSLOG). Use _s_y_s_m_o_n(1M), the System Log Viewer,
- to view the log file.
-
- AAAAUUUUDDDDIIIIOOOO notification can be either turned on or off (set to 1
- or 0), via the _s_y_s_e_r_r_p_a_n_e_l(1M) audio notification button.
-
- System wide changes can be made to
- /usr/lib/sysmon/notifier.config in order to turn messages on
- or off and modify the type of notification. See syserr(1M).
-
- 2.6 _D_i_s_t_r_i_b_u_t_e_d__E_n_v_i_r_o_n_m_e_n_t
-
-
- This section describes how to monitor multiple machines from
- a central location. The central hostname (also called the
- collector) is often aliased to loghost for notification and
- SYSLOG file browsing. Large sites may want to take
- advantage of user configurable notification, for paging
- system administrators, etc. The remote system do not need to
- have sysmon installed, nor do they need to be SGI systems.
- Any UNIX system which runs syslogd will work. To add a
- system, follow this steps:
-
- login to the remote system
-
- 1. rlogin host -l root
-
- 2. Edit the file /etc/syslog.conf and add the following 2
- lines for SGI systems:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 4 -
-
-
-
- kern.debug |/usr/adm/klogpp @loghost
- *.debug;kern.none @loghost
-
- Kloggp is specific to SGI systems, so on non-sgi
- systems should just add this line:
-
- *.debug @loghost
-
- Where 'loghost' is the name of your central host.
- Note: the fields in the above lines are delimited by
- tabs *only*. (See the man page on syslogd for more
- configuration information)
-
- Remote configuration file managers, such as rrrrddddiiiisssstttt(1c)
- and IRIXpro's pppprrrrooooppppeeeellll software can simplify this
- process.
-
- 3. /etc/killall -HUP syslogd (to signal syslogd to
- reread it's config)
-
- Data should now be forwarded to the loghost. Run
- sysmon on the loghost (Make sure 'View hostname" is
- toggled on.) You should see the syslogd "restart"
- message for the remote system. If not, log a syslog
- test message with the "logger" command from the remote
- system:
-
- logger -p1 test
-
- 4. If a large number of machines are forwarding messages
- to the loghost, the SYSLOG file may grow very large
- and you may want to automatically rotate it.
