But maybe someone can provide a "How to".
I'd like to have our zVM and zLinux logs reset every morning and sent over
to a z/OS GDG dataset automatically so that we have a history of what
happened.
We do this today for the zOS console messages.
My zVM sys programmer responded with this comment
"Not very easily. Each item running under z/VM has it's own log and one
operator log. With Linux, I set up a seperate log. To get the task you
need to issue a close console" command for each individual task. With
that, it gets spooled to the PRT queue. From there we need to get it to
the RDR queue then to a mini-disk. From there we would have an ftp job to
grab the listing and put it into a GDG. The problem is to get something
scheduled to trigger the close console and to then to transfer it to each
queue then the minidisk."
Has anyone out there come up with a easier automated way to cut the logs
and willing to share?
Linux has a log rotation utility or several; is there a problem with
mailing the just-closed logs?
This doesn't deal with VM, but it's pretty simple for the Linux logs.
One might also consider running a syslogd on MVS and having the Linux
machines log to it.
