Overview
All messages are saved in log files, which fall into two categories:
ƒ Output messages from the host systems.
ƒ MCC messages, which are usually generated from scripts.
All log files are in standard ASCII format, and reside in the /usr/ics/log directory.
All logs can be accessed through the MCC GUI interface. All logs can be directly
accessed through the Unix operating system.
Note: Exercise caution when directly manipulating these files to avoid
data loss and corruption.
There are ten general MCC log files plus additional files for each optional console
history log, as listed in Table 33:
Active File Name Backup File Name Description
audit.log audit.bak Audit messages for all
consoles for which
auditing is enabled.

file exists for the same
