Been retired for Almost two years now but from what I recall:
Two Different SysPlex: One has 2 MVS Systems, Other has 6 MVS Systems
The Smaller one was in the 900K lines per day, Larger one in the 5M lines
per day
They were both accessed Daily
Kept on Online for 45 days, with HSM backups for 400+ Days more
Every Hours they logs would be "switched" , Automation would grab them from
the output queue they were written to and Mod'ed them to that day's DASD
Syslog datasets.
Don't remember how much space was given to them, they were just like any
other dataset in the TECH Dasd Pool.
I think they were in SYSLOG Format.
The System's Group was the "Owner" of the datasets,
I think they were readable to just about everyone. (But not sure, What the
security rules were around them), I know I could read them...)

So
How many lines of output are on SYSLOG Daily/Hourly/Weekly/Monthly
How often will you need to access the archive syslog?
How long will you need to maintain SYSLOG (months/years)
How much storage (DASD or TAPE) can you dedicate to SYSLOG archive?
are you using OPERLOG or native SYSLOG?
Everything is shop dependent
If you use it a lot and can afford to leave on SPOOL Longer, or is it needed
to offload to dasd as soon as possible
Who the users are will dictate what to do with SYSLOG
Just SYSTEM Folks or all Folks

Hi
Just wanted to get an idea on how you are all processing your syslog to an
JES output management Products (could be anything).
Are you running SYSLOG offload everyday , weekends ? How long you keep the
SYSLOG data online and what are the retention period etc.. ?
I am trying to set the same thing in my shop but just wanted to know some
best practices from you all.
Peter
