Configuring Logging

Modify the Logging Configuration

Use the fields and the function keys of the screen to configure logging for the subsystems represented on the screen. If the subsystem for which you want to enable logging does not appear on this screen, press the [Next Screen] function key to go to the next Netxport Log Configuration screen. There are a total of six logging configuration screens.

Enable or disable logging classes (or accept HP-recommended defaults). Press the [Save Data] key on each screen to create or modify the data record. Verify that the data record has been created by checking that the Data flag is Y.

Fields

Console Logging

The value entered in this field specifies

 

 

whether or not logging events for the

 

 

subsystem and class listed beside the

 

 

field will be logged to the system

 

 

console. A value must be entered for

 

 

each subsystem and class listed. A Y

 

 

(yes) enables logging to the console, N

 

 

(no) disables logging to the console.

 

Disk Logging

The value entered in this field specifies

 

 

whether or not logging events for the

 

 

subsystem and class listed beside the

 

 

field will be logged to a disk file. A

 

 

value must be entered for each

 

 

subsystem and class listed. A Y (yes)

 

 

enables logging to a file, N (no) disables

 

 

logging to a file. The file name that

 

 

NMS uses is NMLGnnnn.PUB.SYS,

 

 

where nnnn is a number from 0000 to

 

 

9999. All logging classes in all

 

 

subsystems are logged to this file. At

 

 

each system startup, or when a file is

 

 

full, NMS creates a new

 

 

NMLGnnnn.PUB.SYS file, naming each

 

 

successive logging file by incrementing

 

 

nnnn. When NMLG9999.PUB.SYS is full,

 

 

NMS names the next logging file

 

 

NMLG0000.PUB.SYS.

The Netxport Log Configuration (3) screen (#70) in Figure 13-4is displayed when you press the [Next Screen] function key from the Netxport Log Configuration (2) screen (#60) in Figure 13-3.
