Debugging and logging options configuration

This section explains how to use the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool to configure debugging and logging options for the CIMOM and Provider. This information can be useful in diagnosing problems during development of client applications, providers, and other components.

Debugging options for CIMOM

The SMI-A can write detailed debugging output to a file. By default, the SMI-A is configured with debugging disabled.

You can enable or disable debugging for CIMOM using the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool. If you enable debugging, trace statements are logged to a trace file with the following name format:

jserverlog_<month & date>_<Hour & Mins>.trace

For example, jserverlog_1017_1655.trace is the trace file for 4:55 p.m. on October 17.

Whenever the CIMOM server is restarted, a new trace file is generated with the timestamp of when the server starts.

The location of this log file is the folder from which the SMIA server is started. It is usually the folder that contains the start_server script:

On Linux, Solaris, and AIX:<SMIAgent>/agent/server/jserver/bin

On Windows:<SMIAgent>\agent\server\jserver\bin

Configuring debugging options for CIMOM

1.Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.

2.Click CIMOM in the menu tree (see Figure 23 on page 38).

The content pane displays the current debugging configuration for CIMOM. By default, debugging is disabled (log level = NO LOG).

3.Select a log level value from the list. Possible values are:

NO LOG
