Hi,

i am trying to install SCOM 2012 agent on AIX 6.1 through SSH discovery but it's getitng failed with below error. so i would like to enable ssh logging (incase by default not enabled) to check if the request is coming or not. infact from this SCOM server, i am abel to login to this AIX Host through putty on ssh.

Kindly let me know how to enable ssh logging & where to check those logs.

Haven't checked but most likely it's a two-step process.

First, you need to enable SSHD logging in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to whatever level you want.

Then, most likely, you'll find SSHD logs to syslogd. Which is, on AIX, not configured by default. So you may need to put something like this in /etc/syslog.conf:

*.debug /var/log/messages

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. below are the contents i have in syslog.conf & sshd_config. i have restarted both sshd & syslogd but still unable to see messages file in /var/log.

/etc/syslog.conf

# example:
# "mail messages, at debug or higher, go to Log file. File must exist."
# "all facilities, at debug and higher, go to console"
# "all facilities, at crit or higher, go to all users"
#  mail.debug           /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog
#  *.debug              /dev/console
#  *.crit                       *
#  *.debug              /var/log/syslog.debug100k.out  rotate size 100k files 4
#  *.crit               /var/log/syslog.dailycrit.out  rotate time 1d
# ASO log configuration
aso.notice /var/log/aso/aso.log rotate size 128k time 7d
aso.info /var/log/aso/aso_process.log rotate size 1024k
aso.debug /var/log/aso/aso_debug.log rotate size 8m coMpress
Auth.info /var/security/sshd.log rotate files 7 time 1d
*.debug /var/log/messages

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

# Logging
# obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel DEBUG
#LogLevel INFO

Regards,

does the file /var/log/messages exist on your server?   If not, touch the file to create it and recycle both daemons.

Hi VinceJohnson,

Thanks now started getting SSH logs. i have manually created messages file under /var/log & restarted both SSHD & syslogd.
