Syslog messages not showing up in notification log

Question

I am running smarts version 6.5 on solaris. My syslog adapter starts and seems to be running. I append text to the syslog file but nothing show up in the notification log. The syslog message shows up in INCHARGE-OI.audit for some reason.

Can you post those syslog messages appearing in INCHARGE-OI.audit?Do you have any filter in your notification log?

Have you checked your syslog message log files? Are you tailing the right log file?

1.Check what the syslog-adapter watches file.
Use the command "sm_service show --cmdline "
"--tail" option is the file which the syslog-adapter watches.

2.Check the file "rules/icoi-syslog/my_hook_syslog.asl"
In default, 'DISCARD="TRUE"'.it means "Don't nortify syslog messages".
In the "MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES" paragraph,modify the parameter DISCARD="FALSE",and all syslog messages show up in notification log.
#You had better use the filter!!
