AIX Logging

[hisham alhajeh]

Hello Everyone

I am trying to install Wazuh SIEM server in an organization, on of the settings I have to put in the agents on the servers is to configure the logs paths usually I put /var/log/syslog, /var/log/kern.log, and /var/log/auth.log in ubuntu server.
but now I am configuring the SIEM agent on and AIX server, and I could not find the log paths.
could any one help me with this issue and provide me how logging works in AIX 7.1?


Thanks alot.

Hi Hisham,

The reason you cannot find default log files is because they need to be enabled in the first place.

Following these steps should get you basic syslog logging output to /tmp/syslog.out, though it's probably wise to change that to /var/log/messages or similar.

Let us know if you succeed.
