Remove the following HP Insight Control for Linux monitoring directories. If you have any
files in these directories that you want to preserve, make sure you save a copy of the files
before you remove them.

# rm -Rf /opt/hptc
# rm -Rf /hptc_cluster
# rm -Rf /var/hptc
# rm -Rf /opt/repository/boot/pxelinux.cfg

NOTE:

System configuration files that Insight Control for Linux modifies (for example,

/etc/dhcpd.conf

, /etc/rsyncd.conf, and so on) do not get removed during the

uninstall process.

# ps -ef | grep mx

If any of the HP SIM daemons are running, record the process ID (PID) and use the PID to
terminate the process. In the following example, replace PID with the process ID of the
daemon (for example, kill -9 1234):

# kill -9 PID

21.7 Event logging overview

This section describes how HP Insight Control for Linux uses the syslog and
syslogng_forward

services to log managed system events and how these events are arranged

according to the syslog-ng.conf rules file.

21.7.1 Understanding the event logging structure

HP Insight Control for Linux uses syslog-ng to log events. Each managed system is configured
to forward its syslog events to syslog-ng running on the CMS.

Each managed system runs the syslogd daemon and passes events of priority warning or
higher to the CMS.

The CMS runs the syslogng_forward service and writes the events it receives from its managed
systems to the /hptc_cluster/adm/logs/consolidated.log file.
