Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
This BUG is for correction in man page of mcelog [/usr/sbin/mcelog] binary.
This is also applicable to RHEL 7 and RHEL 8.
Starting from RHEL 7, mcelog binary logs into '/var/log/messages' file by default however the information in `man mcelog` points to /var/log/mcelog.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Everytime
Excerpt from `man mcelog`, It points out to default log file '/var/log/mcelog' which is incorrect.
~~~
With the --daemon option mcelog will run in the background. This gives the fastest reaction time and is the recommended operating mode. If an output option isn't selected ( --logfile or --syslog or
--syslog-error ), this option implies --logfile=/var/log/mcelog. Important messages will be logged as one-liner summaries to syslog unless --no-syslog is given. The option --foreground will pre‐
vent mcelog from giving up the terminal in daemon mode. This is intended for debugging.
~~~
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install mcelog rpm
2. check `man mcelog` command
3.
Actual results:
Expected results:
Additional info:
This bug is scheduled for migration to Jira. When that happens, this bugzilla issue will be permanently closed with the status MIGRATED and all future interaction on this issue will need to happen in the Jira issue. The new issue will be part of the RHEL project (a project for Jira only issues, which will sync once, then close the bugzilla issue and all future updates will happen in Jira), not part of the RHELPLAN project (which is part of the automated bugzilla->Jira mirroring and which allows ongoing updates to the bugzilla bug and syncs those updates over to Jira).
