NAME

binlog.conf − binlogd configuration file

SYNOPSIS

event_code.prioritydestination

Where:

event_code
Are the numeric codes specified in binlog.h and the binlogd(8) reference page.  An asterisk (∗) specifies that all events should be selected. The code dumpfile Specifies the recovery of the kernel binary event log buffer from a crash dump. A severity level cannot be specified. 

priorityFilters selected events as severe, high, and low. An asterisk (∗) specifies that all events should be selected. 

destination
A local file pathname to a log file, or a remote system hostname for remote logging of events.

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/binlog.conf file is a system file that enables you to configure or filter events that are to be logged by the binary error logger, binlogd. 

The binlogd daemon ignores blank lines and lines that begin with an octothorpe (#). You can specify # as the first character in a line to include comments in the file or to disable an entry. 

If you want the binlogd daemon to use a configuration file other than the default, specify the file name with the following command:

# binlogd -f config_file

Note that EVM subscribes to binlog events by default, and any configuration options you select will affect what events are available to EVM. You can filter and select binlog events using EVM utilities, as described in the EVM(5) reference page. 

EXAMPLES

The following is a sample /etc/binlog.conf file:

#  destination - local file pathname or remote system
