binlog.conf(4)
NAME
  binlog.conf - binlogd configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       event_code.priority		       destination

  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.

  priority
      Filters 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:

       #
       # binlogd configuration file
       #
       #format of a line:   event_code.priority	     destination
       #
       # where: event_code  - see codes in binlog.h and man page,
       # * = all events
       #  priority    - severe, high, low, * = all priorities
       #  destination - local file pathname or remote system
       #  hostname

       *.*	       /usr/adm/binary.errlog
       dumpfile		       /usr/adm/crash/binlogdumpfile
