Displaying the Configuration for Event Notification and Logging

To view the configuration for event notification and logging, use the event config show command, as in the following example.

node::> event config show
                      Mail From:  admin@localhost
                    Mail Server:  localhost
        Local Rotation Schedule:  logrotationsched
              Number Local Logs:  5

Other information is displayed in a detailed view and if other parameters are specified. See the reference page for the command for details.

Modifying the Configuration for Event Notification and Logging

You can use the event config modify command to modify the cluster-wide configuration for event notification and logging. Attributes you can modify include the mail-from address, the mail-server name, the rotation schedule for log files, and the number of log files kept on each node. At the advanced privilege level and higher, you can also modify whether chatter suppression is used, the maximum number of events in the log before the log rotates, and whether log events are written to the console.

The following example modifies the event-notification configuration to use the mail-from address admin@example.com and the mail server named smtp.example.com. It also turns on chatter suppression, which requires the advanced privilege level.

node::> set -privilege advanced
node::*> event config modify -mailfrom admin@example.com
-mailserver smtp.example.com -suppression on
node::*> event config show
                      Mail From:  admin@example.com
                    Mail Server:  smtp.example.com
                    Suppression:  on
        Local Rotation Schedule:  logrotationsched
             Max Local Log Size:  5000
              Number Local Logs:  5
                        Console:  on
