5 Cnfiguring and Mnitring Syslg Servers Chapter 1 Cnfiguring and Mnitring Syslg Servers This chapter deals with the steps invlved in the cnfiguring and mnitring the Syslg servers. 1.1 Administering the eg Manager t mnitr a Syslg Server 1. Lg int the eg administrative interface. 2. eg Enterprise cannt autmatically discver Syslg server. Yu need t manually add the server using the ADD/MODIFY COMPONENTS page (see Figure 1.1 ) that appears when the Infrastructure -> Cmpnents -> Add/Mdify menu sequence is fllwed. Remember that cmpnents manually added are managed autmatically. Figure 1.1: Adding a Syslg server 3. When yu attempt t sign ut, a list f uncnfigured tests appears. 1

T cnfigure the test, specify the fllwing in Figure 1.3. TEST PERIOD - Hw ften shuld the test be executed HOST - The hst fr which the test is t be cnfigured PORT - The prt number at which the specified HOST listens EXCLUDEPATTERNS Specify a list f errr r warning messages t exclude frm prcessing. The frmat is *errr r warning messages*. Multiple entries can be separated by cmma. This parameter is set t nne by default. INCLUDEPATTERNS Specify a list f errr r warning messages t include in prcessing. The frmat is Name:Value where Value is f the frm *errr r warning messages*. Multiple entries can be mnitred specified as Name1:value1,Name2:value2 etc. This parameter is set t all:all by default. SYSLOGFILE Specify the lcatin f a syslg file with full path. ROTATINGFILE Specify whether the syslg file is rtating r nt. True means rtating file. DETAILED DIAGNOSIS - T make diagnsis mre efficient and accurate, the eg Enterprise suite embeds an ptinal detailed diagnstic capability. With this capability, the eg agents can be cnfigured t run detailed, mre elabrate tests as and when specific prblems are detected. T enable the detailed diagnsis capability f this test fr a particular server, chse the On ptin. T disable the capability, click n the Off ptin. The ptin t selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnsis capability will be available nly if the fllwing cnditins are fulfilled: The eg manager license shuld allw the detailed diagnsis capability 2

Nw, try t signut again. Yu will be prmpted t cnfigure the SysLgMn test. Figure 1.4: Cnfiguring the SysLgMn test 8. T cnfigure the test, specify the fllwing in Figure 1.4.

Click n the cmpnents ptin in the menu bar, and select the Servers ptin frm the cmpnents menu. 3. Frm the cmpnent list page, click n the Syslg server fr which yu wish t view measurements. 5

10 Cnclusin Chapter 2 Cnclusin This dcument has described in detail the steps fr cnfiguring and mnitring the Syslg Servers. Fr details f hw t administer and use the eg Enterprise suite f prducts, refer t the user manuals. We will be adding new measurement capabilities int the future versins f the eg Enterprise suite. If yu can identify new capabilities that yu wuld like us t incrprate in the eg Enterprise suite f prducts, please cntact supprt@eginnvatins.cm. We lk frward t yur supprt and cperatin.
