SystemLog Reports

A SystemLog report shows system messages and errors that are recorded in the repository.

When setting up this report, you can specify to include or exclude the following items:

• System components (such as Provisioner, Scheduler, or Server)

• Error codes

• Severity levels (error, fatal, or warning)

You also set the maximum number of records you want to display (by default, 3000), and whether you want to display the oldest or newest records if available records exceed the specified maximum.

When running a SystemLog Report, specific Syslog entries can be retrieved by specifying the syslog ID of the target entry. For example, to view specific entries in the Recent Systems Messages report, edit the report and select the Event field. Then enter the requested syslog ID and click Run.

You also can run the lh syslog command to extract records from the system log. For detailed command options, read syslog Command in Appendix A, lh Reference.
