Hi,
Is there a way to publish/subscribe to the syslog written by websphere message broker in Linux OS. I know that broker publishes the information about runtime processes, will it be possible to publish the syslogs as well.
Thanks. |

Define "publish".
You can certainly pipe syslog output to any program you want. |

Publishing in the sense that, whether there is any standard topic strings that broker publishes when it writes to the syslog so that we could be able to subscribe to that symbols.

Lookup the Unix or Linux 'man' pages for syslog & syslog.conf

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

AFAIK broker doesn't write internal errors to anything other than syslog for the good & sufficient reason that, in a problem situation, the local disk is the one thing the broker can rely on. Imagine a WMBv7 broker trying to publish an error indicating that it's queue manager was unresponsive.....!
But as my most worthy associates have said, syslog can be piped into anything, including a small app that publishes the relevent parts. If your site has WMB-aware monitoring tools these may be able to do this for you, as such tools read the syslog.
But then if you've got such tools, why would you be trying to publish the errors?

| Tivoli Omegamon XE for Distributed Systems is a great product for this. |
And there are a number of non-IBM products in this same space that do good things, as well.
So the real question to be thinking about is "Do I really want to try and re-invent this particular wheel?".
The answer is "NO". |

I actually wrote part of BMC Patrol. It can be used also for this purpose. I believe Omegamon is further developed and more refined, since (IMHO) BMC has not kept the pace with the Patrol product as compared to how far the Tivoli product has come.
