Configuring the audit log file
Configure the Audit Log file to reside in a user specific directory.
To configure the Audit Log:
1. For Windows, create a file named path.properties under C:\Program Files\HP\Systems
Insight Manager\config.
For Linux and HP-UX, create a file named path.properties under /etc/opt/mx/config.
2. For Windows, add the following entry in the path.properties file: LOG=\\Auditlog\\Logs or
LOG=C:/Auditlog/Logs .
For HP-UX, add the following entry in the path.properties file: LOG=/var/opt/mx/logs .
Note: C:\\Auditlog\\Log is listed here as an example for Windows. This path is user defined.
Note: /var/opt/mx/logs is listed here as an example for HP-UX. This path is user-defined.
3. For Linux and HP-UX, restart the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) daemons (mxstop and
mxstart).For Windows, restart the HP SIM service. After restarting the service, a new log file named
mx.log resides in the directory specified in path.properties file.
Five variables can be defined in the log.properties file:
• MX_LOG_FILENAME for the file name. The default is "MX_LOG_FILENAME=mx".
• MX_LOG_FILEEXT for the file extension. The default is "MX_LOG_FILEEXT=log".
• MX_LOG_FILESIZE for the maximum file size. The default is "MX_LOG_FILESIZE=20".
• MX_LOG_ROLLFILEEXT for the file extension of the roll-over name. The default is
"MX_LOG_ROLLFILEEXT=old".
• MX_LOG_QUEUESIZE for the amount of memory allocated for queuing items to be written to the Audit
Log. The default is "MX_LOG_QUEUESIZE=300".
The maximum file size is set in megabytes.
When the Audit Log file reaches the maximum file size, the log is renamed with MX_LOG_ROLLFILEEXT
extension, and a new file is started. If a previous version of the file has already been renamed with the
MX_LOG_ROLLFILEEXT extension, it is an automatic roll-over of an audit log file. A roll-over occurs after
