5. |  By: Paul Anderson Publisher: The USENIX Association Publication Date: 30-JUN-2006 Insert Date: 20-MAR-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: System Configuration
This booklet is aimed squarely at the working system administrator; it aims to explain clearly the various facets of the system configuration problem and to describe how these relate to current tools and future research. Understanding underlying configuration principles will help system administrators use "best practice" in applying current configuration tools and procedures; these are often very flexible, and it is all too easy to negate the advantages presented by a perfectly good tool. Descriptions of the various facets of the configuration problem should also help provide system...

Configuration is the medium in which system administrators work.

Configuration management is a process whereby administrator interactions with configuration are streamlined and simplified. As the scale of infrastructures grows and the complexity of software systems increases, the cost of system administration rises rapidly....

7. |  Deploying the VMware Infrastructure By: John Arrasjid; Karthik Balachandran; Daniel Conde; Gary Lamb; Steve Kaplan Publisher: The USENIX Association Publication Date: 10-AUG-2008 Insert Date: 20-MAR-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Deploying the VMware Infrastructure
Virtual machines, which were almost forgotten in the 1990s, have re-emerged as a method to install and consolidate many server systems into one physical machine. Many virtual machines can run on one host. Fast networks and CPUs now enable PCs to be hosted as virtual machines in central servers accessed from thin clients, just like the old time-sharing terminals, which improves the manageability of desktop computing. Complex, multi-tiered systems can be tested and deployed using virtual machines, which helps bring a wide array of configurations to the fingertips of developers, with no need...

8. |  LCFG: A Practical Tool for System Configuration By: Paul Anderson Publisher: The USENIX Association Publication Date: 01-AUG-2008 Insert Date: 20-MAR-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: LCFG: A Practical Tool for System Configuration
Even a site with a small network of computers is likely to have hundreds of configuration files. The content of these files determines how the overall system works and what it does; this is what makes the difference between a lab of student machines and the same set of hardware providing a Web service. Working out what to put in the configuration files takes a lot of skill and experience. Any mistakes are likely to cause some kind of failure or security breach. A system administrator will usually be responsible for setting these files up correctly and updating them as the system and the...

This booklet describes how to build an infrastructure to collect, preserve, and extract useful information from your computer operating system and application logs. We will focus primarily on UNIX syslog, with some discussion of Windows logging and other sources of log data. Logfiles hold a wealth of information, from resource utilization diagnostics to problems with hardware and software, security problems, and forensic traces of intrusions. Unfortunately, there's an awful lot of information in log files, and it's not well organized or codified. Formats of messages, even timestamps, vary...
