System Management Homepage 7.1 User Guide

9 The Logs page
At a minimum, the Logs page provides the following log categories:
• System Management Homepage Log
• Httpd Error Log (Windows and Linux)
Logs contained in the installed HP Web-enabled System Management Software appear on this
page. For example, if the HP Version Control Agent is installed, a link to the Version Control Agent
log appears on the Logs page. As another example, if the Distributed Systems Administration
Utilities (DSAU) is installed, a link to the System Log Viewer appears on the Logs page. Each log
file is divided into pages that display a total of 40 log entries to a page.
System Management Homepage Log
The System Management Homepage Log contains HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH)
configuration changes as well as successful and failed sign-in attempts. It is helpful when
troubleshooting sign-in or access issues when signing in directly to HP SMH, or from the HP Systems
Insight Manager (HP SIM).
You must have administrative access to HP SMH to access the System Management Homepage
Log.
To access the HP SMH Log, select Logs from the menu and click the System Management
Homepage Log link in the System Management Homepage box.
SAM Log
The SAM Log link provides access to the SAM Log Viewer. The SAM Log Viewer provides a Web
interface into the HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) log file. This log file is used by
existing SAM applications and the new Web-based management applications.
The SAM Log is available on HP-UX only.
To access the SAM Log, select Logs from the menu and click the SAM Log link in the System
Management Homepage box.
To filter messages from the SAM Log, select the criteria to filter by, and then click OK. The messages
appear at the bottom of the screen.
Httpd Error Log
The Httpd Error Log contains error information generated by HP SMH modules, Kerberos
misconfiguration errors, and CGI execution errors (httpd). It is the first place to look when a problem
occurs with starting the server or with server operation because the log often contains details of
what went wrong and how to fix the problem.
