Fault Management Log Files

The Fault Manager daemon records information in several log files. The log files are stored in /var/fm/fmd. To view these log files, use the fmdump command. See the fmdump(1M) man page for more information.

  • The errlog log file records inbound telemetry information which consists of ereports.

  • Informational events are recorded in two log files. The infolog_hival log file is for high-value events, and the infolog log file collects all other informational events.

  • The fltlog log file records fault diagnosis and repair events.


Tip  -  Base your administrative action on output from the fmadm faulty command. Log files output by the fmdump command can contain error statements that are not faults or defects.

See Displaying Information About Faults or Defects for information about using the fmadm faulty command.

The log files are automatically rotated. See the logadm(1M) man page for more information.
