netcon(1M) Message Logging

Certain messages sent from the kernel are not displayed in the domain syslog messages file, such as OpenBoot^TM messages, panic messages, and some console messages. syslogd on the domain (1M) must run on the domain to log the messages; this is not possible when a panic occurs, nor is it possible at certain times during the boot sequence. Moreover, panic dumps often fail, so these types of messages may not even appear in a dump file to help you determine the cause of the failure.

However, you can capture all output displayed on an active netcon(1M) console through the LOCAL1 facility of syslog(1M). This functionality is enabled by default through the /etc/syslog.conf file. By default, netcon(1M) session output is recorded in the $SSPLOGGER/domain_name/netcon file.
