How to get OOM crash info into syslog or other log

[bandeg]

Hi:

We are running and getting some out of memory (OOM) crashes, however we don't have some systems connected to the console.

Is there a way to redirect the kernel dump to a file (preferably the syslog but any will do).

We are already running klodg and syslogd but we don't find this dump there.

Thanks.

Hey There,

You may be able to augment your syslog file to include a line that dumps everything to /dev/console. The most extreme would be:

*.* /dev/console

With a tab between the *.* and /dev/console. Your system may not have this logical device set up under /dev, but if you let me know what kind of system you have, I can find out for you. Of course, if you already know where that is, this solution should help.

Please let me know if it doesn't work.

Best wishes

, Mike
