I like setting up a console log collector SVM. Either using a PROP style server
that has
consoles secusered to it or a hot reader server that has console files spooled
to it and
closed every midnight.

I can't diagnose it from the spooled console log -- our site purges
spool files after two weeks.
So, I get a weird idea. In PROFILE EXEC:
CP DEFINE PUNCH ... /* Not 00D */
CP SPOOL ... to RSCS CONT
Use NETDATA, etc. stages to create an email image addressed to
me, and leave it in the CONT spooled punch.
When the server crashes, the punch will be closed and the
RSCS will deliver the email to me.
o Will this work?
o Is it abusive of system resources?
o Is there a better way?
Thanks,
