XenServer Log monitoring what to look for
-
So in terms of syslog monitoring what should a xenserver administrator really be looking to monitor. I'm going through my logs and I don't have any errors currently that I see so I'm assuming everything's good but what would be a warning sign.
-
I looked through a XS once to try and trace an error I saw on an import, and never did really figure it out.
I'll be following this thread closely.

It would say "error" or "warning". Other than that, it could be anything.

What log file were you looking at?

I don't even remember.
It was the right one, because I found all the stuff I was looking for. Just could not decipher it.

when I was tracking down some xs errors
as root on xenserver hosts:
cat /var/log/messages | grep fail
cat /var/log/messages | grep error
tail -f /var/log/messages when doing something that keeps failingSame as above but with /var/log/SMlog
cat /var/log/kern.log -
If you use xencenter, moving disks or vms around while using tail -f /var/log/whateverlogs and see what commands and scripts xs does for certain tasks

Some useful logging here for my XenPool with HALizard.
