I've set up a model ST-1610 on a Solaris host and it "just worked" by pointing conserver at the /dev/cua/ ports.

I currently have 113 managed consoles and, as a result, have 113 distinct logfiles, one per console. I have been looking at swatch (http://oit.ucsb.edu/~eta/swatch/) as a way of keeping an eye out for various "events" that I would like to be notified of. For instance, a full file system, a failing or failed disk, etc. (Most of my consoles are UNIX boxes.) However, swatch is able to watch only a single file. In order to watch all my consoles, I have to run 113 instances of swatch (BTW, swatch is a perl script.). Is there a way to send some or all of my console logs to syslog (in addition to or instead of individual log files). I would love to continue to have all the individual log files PLUS be able to also point all console output to a specific syslog "facility.level" so syslog could aggregate the records into a single file that swatch could watch. Any ideas? In the meantime, I'm going to try firing up a whole bunch of swatch processes. :-) Matt -- Matthew Cheek | Medical Archival Systems, Inc.

The recent code is lending itself more to doing stuff like that, but it's not there yet. It would be fairly easy to be able to have a list of files (and possibly syslog) as destinations for the output. Then you could point all consoles to a common file as well as specific ones. Only problem there is the logfiles themselves are not stamped with the name of the console, so you don't know which thing generated the error. There is the "unloved output" stuff which is kinda what you're looking for. The output is only generated if someone *isn't* attached to a particular console (see the manpage for a better worded explanation). So, you could enable that (the -u option in 7.1.1) and watch that data. It's not perfect, but would get you mostly there. If you change to code and remove the check for no one being attached, you're 100% there. Yep, it's all ugly. I'll make sure the request/idea is in the TODO file so that it will at least make myself (and others?) think about it some more.

You could try logcheck (www.psionic.com) instead of = swatch. logcheck
works with several log files.
