cmsetlog is a useful utility that sends MCSG log messages into a user specified log file in addition to the syslog facility. It’s a user contributed program, so it’ll be hiding in /usr/contrib/bin. You’ll have to use this program to support the philosophy of breaking out your syslog files (pls see Syslog daemon configuration), if you follow it.
You’ll have to figure out a way to reexecute this program every time the cluster or a node is restarted as the program doesn’t restart by default. That effort, though, is left as an exercise for the reader.
Desired results and command lines to achieve them follow:
Log all MCSG messages to a specific log file as well as to the syslog facility.
cmsetlog -f ${mcsg_log_file}Return to logging to the syslog facility only:
cmsetlog -s
After specifying a log file, request a greater level of detail:
cmsetlog ${1-6}NOTE: Anything over 2 is going to start logging LOTS of information - to the point it’ll log heartbeat arrivals. Be careful of log sizes!
Reset logging to the default level 0:
cmsetlog -r
