Re: SPAM: How to suppress some informational VTAM messages ?



I thought the whole idea of SUPPRESS was to keep them from running across an operator's console with all that *other* clutter, but they were KEPT in the
SYSLOG, no?!

There is/was an option, under NETVIEW (I believe), that would supress messages in SYSLOG.
I believe it was:
SYSLOG(y/n) -- with Y as the default.

I don't think it was/is supported by MPF.

I think, from an audit perspective, this is not a good idea to use.
I caught a SYSPROG doing this, almost 20 years ago, when controls weren't as tight.
Almost everything he did was never journaled to SYSLOG (or the CONSOLE).
That's how I caught him.
He did something, that I knew about, and I happened to be looking at the SYSLOG under SDSF and noticed none of the messages, regarding what he did, showed up.
