How to collect log

[Md. Alamgir Khan]

Dear all,

I have hp9000 (rp4440/7420/8420) servers.
Please help me. How can I collect the copy for these following logs?

1. MP log
2. /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
3. dmesg
4. /etc/rc.log
5. core dump generated


Best regards,
Alamgir Khan

here is some thought

>>1. MP log
login with putty and then save the session outputs in settings menu.session>logging> then choose log file name.

>>2. /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
do ftp

>>3. dmesg

#dmesg >/tmp/dmesg.txt
and then do ftp

>>4. /etc/rc.log
do ftp

>>5. core dump generated

find coredump using find command

Hi

How can I generate core dump?

>How can I generate core dump?

Normally the intention is to not create them. :-)
You can send SIGQUIT to a dummy process.
Or you can write a C application with an error.

Note a core dump isn't really a log.
Are you sure you weren't asking about a crash dump of the kernel?

To find core files:
$ find / -name core* â exec file {} \;

To generate the core
$ kill -TRAP pid_#_of_process   
$ kill -ILL pid_#_of_process
