9955.0. "List of log messages ?" by TAMIR::LANDSBERG (Internets success will also be its downfall) Tue May 27 1997 07:01

    Hi,
    
    We have a customer connecting their system to a HP monitoring system,
    probably Openview. The monitoring software checks for log files and
    acts accordingly. They asked us what type of error messages we produce
    so they can have their monitoring system monitor DEC UNIX systems.
    
    I referred them to syslog and the log files in /usr/adm/syslog.dated.
    But they want to know the details and type of messages received. I
    could not find any reference to a list of log messages. Attached is the
    mail received from the customer. Any help would be appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Alex

    In order to use the logfiles we talked about, I have to know the
    specific text of the messages.
    For example, how do messages about full kernel tables look like, how do
    messages about swap space look like, and so on.
    I would be happy if you could send me a list of important messages who
    may appear in the logfiles.
    
    Thanks,
