Chapter 6 Log Archiving Facility 73
FIGURE 6-1 Log Archiving
As shown in FIGURE 6-1,
(1) Before enabling log archiving, create an archive directory on the archive host.
There should be a separate archive directory for each system that uses the archive
host. The directory permissions should be set so that only authorized users can
access its contents.
(2) You configure the log archiving feature.
(3) As new data accumulates in logs, log archiving polls log files at fixed intervals
to determine when new data needs to be archived.
(4) Log archiving uses scp to transfer log data to the archive host. It uses ssh to
manage the logs which it previously copied.
