Next, the wizard prompts for which local logs should be consolidated:

Log files that reside on this system can be consolidated.

Would you like to consolidate this system's syslogs? (y/n) [y]:

Answering yes places this log consolidation system’s own local syslog data in the consolidated
log along with the client system's syslog data. The wizard displays a summary of all the
configuration choices made by the administrator:

Summary of Log Consolidation Configuration:

You have chosen to configure

Consolidation Server.
Logs will be forwarded from the remote consolidation
clients to local port 1776 using the TCP protocol.

The consolidated logs will be stored under directory:

If these choices are correct, continue:

Do you want to continue? (y/n) [y]: y

3.3.1.2 Configuring a Serviceguard Cluster as a Log Consolidation Server with clog_wizard

When running the clog_wizard (see clog_wizard(1M)) in a cluster, first make sure that all the
cluster members are up and available. The wizard needs to perform configuration operations
on each member. It only needs to be run once, from any member of the cluster. If you run the
wizard more than once, additional prompts may appear.
