» Related Topic

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) logs all tasks performed by all HP SIM users on all systems. The information is stored in the Audit Log file on the central management server (CMS). Several features of the HP SIM Audit Log are configurable. For example, you can specify which tools log data and the maximum Audit Log file size. The HP SIM Audit Log is configured through the log.properties file and tool logging, is enabled or disabled through the XML tool definition files.

Configuring the HP SIM Audit Log

Configuring the HP SIM Audit log is performed from the command line interface (CLI), and you must be signed in as root or administrator.

Configuring the Tool Definition Files

The XML tool definition file provides an option to disable logging of single-system aware (SSA) and multiple-system aware (MSA) command tools. The log attribute for the command element specifies whether the results of the command are output to the HP SIM log file. Command output is logged by default.

Configuring the log.properties File

You might need to create the file and name it log.properties if one does not exist in the directory. HP SIM uses default values when the file does not exist or when a variable is not defined in the file. Refer to Audit Log - Configuring the Audit Log File for more information.
