servicelog: System Service Database

The servicelog package provides a library for logging service-related events to the servicelog database, and a number of command-line utilities for viewing the contents of the database. The concept of a serviceable event is introduced; if an event occurs that requires a service action to repair (such as a hardware failure that requires the replacement of a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), or an issue that requires a firmware update to fix), the event is considered serviceable. When a repair action occurs (such as the replacement of a FRU), all of the open serviceable events that are repaired by that action are considered to be "closed".

The libservicelog library links to the Berkeley DB library to manage the underlying database. Due to flux in the libdb interface between 4.2 and 4.3, libservicelog currently statically links with libdb 4.2. The library is not included with the source; simply copy libdb-4.2.a to the servicelog source directory in order to link libservicelog.

Coming soon:
  • online versions of manpages
  • Doxygen documentation
  • source and binary RPMs
  • split into servicelog and libservicelog packages
