Hello,

I have few questions regarding monitoring with xCAT, especially snmp. 

1. Is there a way to prevent xCAT to log all events coming from the nodes 
/ devises to /var/log/messages?  i tried the following line in monsetting 
table - "snmpmon","log","None",,  did not work. 

2. Lets say i would like to run command when event received, use the 
runcmd and cmds values. what is the best way to handle specific event? is 
there a way to pass the event to the script? not sure its clear enough, 
so, here's what we want to do - when an even received, we would like to 
run a script that will take the device name (that generate the event), the 
severity, take the message text (we do not want to take all the snmp trap, 
for example) and send it to another monitoring system in a certain format. 
 

3. This is a general question that i hope someone one the list can advise 
- Assuming the xCAT server (or any other server for that matter) will act 
as the syslog servers for the networking devices (MLX, BNT etc.), if there 
a way to write those messages to different file and not have one long 
unified /var/log/messages?  preferably even to spit each IP / device to 
its own file. Looking at the syslog.conf, i see no way of doing this and 
no criteria that i can use. any ideas are more than welcome!

any other ideas / best practices / solution you've implemented are more 
than welcome!
