Syslog Conversion Problem

Alfred M. Ocon — Tue, 24 Sep 2002 02:22:48 GMT

Does anybody know how LFAT or DD decodes HP Syslog generated files? Or any info on the syslogs byte offset, length, field types, etc.

Thanks for any help.

Hi
HP syslog.log is a ASCII text file which can be manipulated to suit.

There is a configuration file for syslog entries that may have the field info you are looking for. It is /etc/syslog.conf. The MAN pages for syslogd and syslog also have useful info about this facility. The syslog file itself is straight ascii text, easily manipulated by all the normal commands and utilities.

Good Luck. --bmr

Does anybody know LFAT?

I need to create a conversion utility that simulates LFAT but mine would grep valid fields only and loads em directly to the database.

I guess you aren't getting the message: syslog has no byte offset, no field lengths, no field types, no hits, no runs, no errors (don't we all wish?).

I think you are confusing WEB monitoring with system monitoring.

Maybe this will help?

Sorry, maybe I got the wrong question.
