Configuring Logging

This chapter includes step-by-step instructions to help you perform the following tasks:

•Access the logging configuration screens.

•Modify the logging configuration.

•Enable users for individual logging classes.

•Activate logging.

Logging is configured for the purpose of recording events such as errors and console commands. You configure logging for each of the subsystems of NS 3000/iX and for NS 3000/iX links. Each subsystem includes different classes of events (such as internal errors). You can record logging to a disk file for later analysis, to the system console so that the system operator receives the messages, or both.

You can also display logging events at individual users’ list devices. This may be valuable to allow the network manager to monitor NS console activity from an alternate terminal. If you configure a logging class so that logging is recorded to a user.account, the user will receive logged messages any time there is an active session for that user.account. (Take care if you enable users for logging; doing so can place a strain on system resources.)

The guided configuration process configures logging for you using defaults. You can also configure or modify the logging subsystem using either guided or unguided configuration.
