System log file SYSLOG

The system log file records important events (in the form of binary messages) from the proxy container run. It contains important information which can be used to diagnose errors. It is stored in the file directory SYSLOG in the proxy container home directory. The file is available by default.

It can be displayed as follows:

• In the Management Console, choose the nodes Advanced Features - Diagnosis - Output - General Diagnostic Info under the proxy container's node and select the item Container Syslog Files. Then double-click this entry or select in the Context-Menu of this item Show All Syslog Files to convert and show these files together.
  
  The Management Console transfers the converted text file syslog.all.txt to the local diagnostic path of the proxy and displays the file in a Text File panel.
  

• In the Management Console, choose the nodes Advanced Features - Diagnosis - Output - General Diagnostic Info under the proxy container's node and select the item Container Syslog Files. Then click the Show File button.

  If there is more than one file of the selected type, the Select Diagnostic File To Show dialog box opens showing the appropriate files on the host. Select the diagnostic file you want to show.
  The Management Console transfers the converted text file syslog.<number>.txt to the local diagnostic path of the proxy and displays the file in a Text File panel.
  
  For details, please refer to the Management Console's online help system.

• On Solaris and Linux systems, change to the proxy container home directory and call the script as follows:

  The formatted information of all available log files is written to the slog.out file in the proxy container home directory and displayed in the system's default editor.

• On Windows systems, change to the proxy container home directory and call the script as follows:

  shsc\syslog.cmd

  The formatted information is then written to the slog.out file in the proxy container home directory and displayed in the system's default editor.
