Appliance Monitoring

The appliance regularly writes log messages to a local file, which can be accessed through the tibfile user.

In addition to these default logs, you can configure the appliance to transmit messages of higher importance to a remote syslog daemon, or collector.

When syslog transmission is enabled, all messages of priority notice and higher are transmitted to a standard syslog collector. This can be used to monitor the appliance for significant events, including:

  • Server state changes
  • Appliance fan failure
  • Power supply failure
  • Low disk space
  • Disk errors
  • CLI command actions

Syslog monitoring is configured with the syslog-config command.
