Syslog support

Syslog forwarding is the process by which you can configure the Host Connectivity Manager (HCM) 
agent to send Syslog messages to other computers through port 514. You can configure the HCM 
agent to forward events to a maximum of three Syslog destinations. These events will display in the 
operating system logs.

The HCM stores all the received events from the driver in the agtEvent.log file. By default, the 
location is /opt/hcmagent/log/hbaEvents.log in Linux and Solaris systems. 

Opening the Syslog Server Configuration dialog box 

1. Select an adapter from the device tree.

2. Select Configure > Syslog from the main menu.

The Syslog Server Configuration dialog box displays.
