if you are interested in specific events you could configure it through the regular event facility to exectute a Linux command that sends the event to a syslog server
What type of events are you looking to capture? I just completed this setup for auditing to capture login info as well as useradd, usermod, etc. I just used the built in syslog daemon on the control stations.
Correct, that is all I needed to accomplish, since you can't manage a celerra without access via control station, although this changes a lot in 5.6 in how the users are managed. I am working with 5.5 currently.
As Rainer pointed out, that's only for the Control Station (logins, useradd, usermod, etc). That doesn't log any of the Data Mover log messages at all.
That might not be completely accurate. For example, you manage a CIFS server with the Computer Management snap-in. Without Auditing enabled, you might be wondering why some settings were changing or why users were getting their sessions closed. For April Fool's Day here in the US, my coworker in the next cube closed my session just before I saved my presentation! (it was in my checkpoint, of course)

Hi,
you can use the Linux config but the Celerra specific messages are not using syslog so you wouldnt get much of value.
If you do think full off-site logging via syslog would be useful please take a minute and file a Product Enhancement Request (PER) via Powerlink

Would specifics on that setup help?

True, I am so used to the CLI I forget there are other ways
Windows based tasks from the MCC would not be captured in this syslog setup.
