> NQ: Trying to keep my SD;O list short. I find 15 of the following thereon: > > SYSLOG STC00002 +MASTER+ 144 C STD LOCAL 70 > > SYSLOG STC00018 +MASTER+ 128 C STD LOCAL 3,536 > > SYSLOG STC00052 +MASTER+ 128 C STD LOCAL 3,499 > > SYSLOG STC00091 +MASTER+ 128 C STD LOCAL 3,592 > > I see nothing therein of interest to me except the third field seems to be a > date. Mine run from 13074 to 13129. Do I need to keep them, some, none, all?
Like me you might be running on an ADCD system. Now that I don't have an archival product anymore (we kept even sandbox data for 300 days), I always XDC them out to DASD (and put them into a GDG). You never know when you really need to look at how the system behaved at the last IPL. The syslog is always my first stop to check for problems and an invaluable resource when checking for normal (or unnormal) system activity. If you're not the one responsible for that system, just leave the old syslog alone. If you are responsible for the system, then familiarize yourself with the syslog content. It shows A LOT more than what you can see on your operator console.
