27 HP SIM Audit log
HP SIM logs all tasks performed by all HP SIM users on all systems. The information is stored in
the Audit Log file on the CMS. Several features of the HP SIM Audit Log are configurable. For
example, you can specify which tools log data and the maximum Audit Log file size. The HP SIM
Audit Log is configured through the log.properties file, and tool logging is enabled or disabled
through the XML tool definition files.
On Windows, the audit log can be found at the <SIM installdir>/logs/mx.log . On
Linux and HP-UX, the audit log can be found at /var/opt/mx/logs/mx.log. These are rolled
over to mx.log.old when the file reaches the maximum default size of 20 MB.
Configuring the HP SIM audit log
Configuring the HP SIM Audit log is performed from the CLI, and you must be signed-in as root or
administrator.
Configuring the tool definition files
The XML tool definition file provides an option to disable logging of SSA and MSA command tools.
The log attribute for the command element specifies whether the results of the command are output
to the HP SIM log file. Command output is logged by default.
Configuring the log.properties file
You might need to create the file and name it log.properties if one does not exist in the
directory. HP SIM uses default values when the file does not exist or when a variable is not defined
in the file.
For Windows, the file is located in <SIM installdir>/logs/mx.log.
For Linux and HP-UX, the file is located in /var/opt/mx/logs/mx.log. This is rolled over to
the mx.log.old file when it reaches the maximum configured size of 20MB.
The file is rolled over to the mx.log.old file when it reaches the maximum configured size of
20MB.
