    So there are actually some events that will trigger automatic log package creation. A failed GM recover command, failed scheduled task or a failed backup are a few examples. The issue with this request is defining exactly what events should warrant an automatic log package. Too "many" log package triggered could affect performance. And each creation of a log package can take up disk space. On and CSM HMC installation, disk space isn't an issue because we will automatically only keep 5 log packages. But on a standalone server, there is nothing that roles older log packages and running out of disk space could cause issues with CSM and other products.

    So, I would be greatly interested if you could provide a list of events that you think you'd want to see automatic log packages created for.
