By default, Cross Platform ACS AIX rules are not enabled After importing the Cross Platform ACS AIX management pack, follow the steps in “Configure Syslog and Rules for Audit Edits” in “Audit Collection Services (ACS) Support for Cross Platform Operating Systems.”

 

How to Configure AIX Syslog

By default, the AIX platform does not log audit events. The logging configuration is controlled by the file located at /etc/syslog.conf.
Perform the following steps to enable logging of all event messages at the debug level or higher.

    To enable event logging on an AIX Computer

1.   Using an appropriate editor, modify the /etc/syslog.conf file to contain the following line:

*.info  /var/log/syslog.log     rotate  size 1m files 10 where /var/log/syslog.log  is the location and name of the Syslog file. The Syslog file is rotated when it becomes larger than 1 megabyte (MB) and the number of rotated files is  limited to 10.

Note: Use the TAB key to separate priority, destination, and rotation parameters. Spaces do not work.

 

2.   At a command prompt, to refresh the computer’s configuration, enter # refresh -s syslogd.

3.   You will now need to enable the appropriate Cross Platform ACS AIX management pack rules as described in Enable ACS Rules.

To enable the rules:

 

Scope the Console> Authoring to AIX 5.3 ACS Endpoint and AIX 6.1 ACS Endpoint

 

Override > Enable all the AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 ACS Collection Rules (10 Rules per version)

How to Install Cross Platform ACS Reporting

To install Cross Platform ACS Reports

  1. On the server that will be used to host ACS Reports, log on as a user that is an administrator of the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SRS) instance.

  2. At a Command Prompt window, change directories to the Cross Platform ACS Reports folder, for example C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager Cross Platform ACS.

  3. In the Cross Platform ACS Reports folder, run the following command.
    UploadCrossPlatformAuditReports “<AuditDBServer\Instance>” “<Reporting Server URL>” “<path of the copied ACS folder>” .

    For example: UploadCrossPlatformAuditReports “myAuditDbServer\Instance1” “https://myReportServer/ReportServer$instance1” “C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager Cross Platform ACS”

    noteNote
    The reporting server URL needs the virtual directory of the reporting server (ReportingServer$<InstanceName> ), instead of the reporting manager directory (Reports$<InstanceName> ).

     

  4. Open Internet Explorer and enter the following address to view the SQL Server Reporting Services home page.

    https://<yourReportingServerName>/Reports$<InstanceName>
