# ./uninstall.sh
5.
Remove the following Insight Control for Linux monitoring directories. If you have any files in
these directories that you want to preserve, make sure you save a copy of the files before you
remove them.
# rm -Rf /opt/hptc
# rm -Rf /hptc_cluster
# rm -Rf /var/hptc
# rm -Rf /opt/repository/boot/pxelinux.cfg
NOTE:
System configuration files that Insight Control for Linux modifies (for example, /etc/
dhcpd.conf
, /etc/rsyncd.conf, and so on) are not removed during the uninstall process.
6.
Remove the following HP SIM directories. If you have any files in these directories that you
want to preserve, make sure you save a copy of the files before you remove them.
# rm -Rf /var/opt/hpsmdb
# rm -Rf /var/opt/mx
# rm -Rf /etc/opt/mx
# rm -Rf /opt/hpsmdb
7.
Verify that the HP SIM daemons are no longer running:
# ps -ef | grep mx
If any of the HP SIM daemons are running, record the process ID (PID) and use the PID to
terminate the process. In the following example, replace PID with the process ID of the daemon
(for example, kill -9 1234):
# kill -9 PID
8.
Reboot the CMS:
# reboot
23.6 Determining the installed Insight Control for Linux version
To determine the version of Insight Control for Linux that is installed on the CMS, look in the following
file:
# /opt/hp/icelx/etc/icelx-release
23.7 Event logging overview
This section describes how Insight Control for Linux uses the syslog and syslogng_forward
services to log managed system events and how these events are arranged according to the
syslog-ng.conf
rules file.
23.7.1 Understanding the event logging structure
Insight Control for Linux uses syslog-ng to log events. Each managed system is configured to
forward its syslog events to syslog-ng running on the CMS.
Each managed system runs the syslogd daemon and passes events of priority warning or higher
to the CMS.
The CMS runs the syslogng_forward service and writes the events it receives from its managed
systems to the /hptc_cluster/adm/logs/consolidated.log file.
23.7.2 The syslog-ng.conf rules file
The syslog-ng.conf rules file defines the order of importance by which the log files are arranged.
The /opt/hptc/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file defines a series of rules
for the syslogng_forward service on how to handle messages from its clients. The
syslog-ng.conf
file contains five types of rules:
