3.4 Disabling Log Consolidation

The clog_wizard enables log consolidation configurations but does not have an unconfigure
or deconfigure option. Thus you must disable a system from participating in log consolidation
manually, using the following instructions for each system type to:

Disable a standalone log consolidation system

Disable a Serviceguard cluster log consolidation system

Disable a standalone log forwarding client

Disable a Serviceguard log forwarding client

3.4.1 Disabling a Standalone Log Consolidation System

Perform the following steps to disable log consolidation:

1.

Stop syslog-ng:

# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop

2.

Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog-ng file, as follows:
a.

Change the CLOG_CONFIGURED line to CLOG_CONFIGURED=0.

b.

Remove all other CLOG lines except for the following:

CLOG_LAYOUTS_DIR=/var/opt/dsau/layouts
CLOG_ADDITIONAL_LOG_DIRS[0]=/var/log

3.

If the TCP protocol was used, remove the following line from /etc/services:

clog_tcp /tcp # Consolidated logging with syslog-ng

3.4.2 Disabling a Serviceguard Cluster Log Consolidation System

Perform the following steps to disable log consolidation in a Serviceguard cluster. Perform these
steps on each cluster member:

1.

Halt the clog package with the command:

# . /etc/cmcluster.conf

# $SGSBIN/cmhaltpkg clog

2.

Stop syslog-ng with the following command:

# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop

(This stops the syslog-ng daemon and package log consolidation if configured.)

3.

Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog-ng file and change the CLOG_CONFIGURED line to
the following:

CLOG_CONFIGURED=0

Remove all other CLOG lines except for:

CLOG_LAYOUTS_DIR=/var/opt/dsau/layouts
CLOG_ADDITIONAL_LOG_DIRS[0]=/var/log

4.

Delete the clog package with the following command:

# cmdeleteconf -p clog

3.4.3 Disabling a Standalone Log Forwarding Client

Perform the following steps to disable log forwarding on a standalone client:

1.

Stop syslog-ng with the following command:

# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop

This stops the syslog-ng daemon and also ssh port forwarding if configured.
