View and search system logs

logdrake

This tool is found in the Mageia Control Center System tab, labelled + "View and search system logs".

To do a search in the logs

First, enter the key string you want to look for in the Matching field and/or the key string you want to + do not wish to see amongst the answers in the field + but not matching. Then select the file(s) + to search in the Choose file field. Optionally, it is + possible to limit the search to only one day. Select it in the Calendar, using the little arrows on each side of + the month and year, and check "Show only for the selected + day". At last, click on the search + button to see the results in the window called Content of the + file. It is possible to save the results in the .txt format by + clicking on the Save button.

Note

The Mageia Tools Logs houses the logs from + the Mageia configuration tools such as the Mageia Control Center tools. + These logs are updated each time a configuration is modified.

To configure a mail alert

Mail alert automatically checks the system + load and the services every hour and if necessary sends an e-mail to the + configured address.

To configure this tool, click on the Mail + Alert button and then, in the next screen, on the + Configure the mail alert system drop down button. Here, all + the running services are displayed and you can choose which ones you want + to look watch. (See screenshot above).

The following services can be watched :

  • Webmin Service

  • Postfix Mail Server

  • FTP Server

  • Apache World Wide Web Server

  • SSH Server

  • Samba Server

  • Xinetd Service

  • BIND Domain Name Resolve

In the next screen, select the Load value you + consider unacceptable. The load represents the demand to a process, a high + load slows the system down and a very high load may indicate that a + process has gone out of control. The default value is 3. We recommend + setting the load value to 3 times the number of processors.

In the last screen, enter the Email address of + the person to be warned and the Email server to use + (local or on the Internet).

Command line

You can start this tool from the command line, by typing logdrake as root.
