Archival of SYSLOG Data

You can select SYSLOG data for archival by SYSOUT class. When SYSLOG data is queued for print using the WRITELOG operator command or at IPL time, it can be archived by CA View. Therefore, if you want to archive SYSLOG data, have your SYSLOG data queued for print at regular intervals. The length of the interval determines the age of the most current archival group of SYSLOG data.

You can use the automatic command facility to queue SYSLOG data at regular intervals. For example, to queue SYSLOG data on an hourly basis for archival to CA View, establish the following automatic command as part of your IPL procedure:

$TA,I=3600,'$VS''W'''

Coordinate the process of implementing archival of SYSLOG data with your systems programming staff.
