NOTE ABOUT PMD SYSLOG MESSAGES:
To not generate PMD syslog
messages, the file "/etc/pmd.sh" has to be edited. The parameter DPARM
must be changed from "" to "-s". After this, the command “saveconf" and
"daemon restart PMD" must be run.
You can use the information provided in the table above to create filters
and generate alarms about events that happens in the ACS itself. More
about this issue will be approached in the next section of this chapter.
DCD ON/OFF Syslog messages
The ACS can generate an alert when a serial console cable is removed
from the console server or the server/network equipment attached to the
console is powered down. Also if a modem is in use then to detected if the
modem is still powered on and active.
The DCD signal will be monitored and a syslog message will be
generated whenever the state of the signal changes. The syslog message
can be handled by syslog-ng to generate an event notification.
How to configure
The necessary steps to enable syslog messages generation in the ACS will
be described below:
1. Open the
/etc/portslave/pslave.conf file.
