Configuration

GridServer log items can be sent to a centralized syslog daemon, which is then used for capture by LogLogic. This is configured in the Manager Configuration or the Engine Configuration.

Manager Configuration

To configure syslog output for a Manager, go to Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Logging > Syslog.

Engine Configuration

To configure Syslog output for a group of Engines, go to Grid Components > Engines > Engine Configurations and edit the properties in the Logging to a Syslog Server section. This affects all Engines using that Engine Configuration.

Configuration Properties

Configuration properties are as follows:

Syslog Server Address

The hostname or IP address of the syslog server.

The comma-separated list of components that are logged.

The component is the value that is in brackets on a log message.

If the logger is set to use the Fully Qualified Class Name, the component name is just the unqualified class name.

Use the * character to log all components. (The * character can only be used to indicate all, it cannot be used in component names.)

 

Max Log Level

The highest level of messages that are sent to syslog.

Note that log messages higher than the default log level are not sent; this setting only limits what is sent to syslog.

ALL

Tag

The syslog tag, which is typically the name of the program or process that generated the message.

GridServerEngine or GridServerManager

Time Zone

The time zone of the time stamp. Currently only GMT and default time zones are supported.
