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:
