Chapter 4. NetWare Log File Adapter

The following sections contain reference information about the NetWare log file adapter.

NetWare Log File Adapter Reference Information

The log file adapter for NetWare forwards events from a NetWare server to the event server. The NetWare log file adapter can be registered with the startup configuration of the NetWare server so that the log file adapter is started when the NetWare server is started.

NetWare server events are gathered from any ASCII log file residing on the

NetWare server, such as the SYS:SYSTEM\SYS$LOG.ERR file.

The NetWare log file adapter is a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) process that reads events generated on a NetWare server, formats them according to specifications in the format file, and forwards them to the event server for further processing.

The NetWare log file adapter can run silently, without its own screen, or it can run in the debugging mode that displays screen messages for diagnostic purposes.

Adapter Files

The NetWare server adapter package consists of the following files:

tecadnw4.nlm

The adapter service executable file

tecadnw4.cnf

The configuration file

tecadnw4.cds

postmsg.nlm

nwgencds.nlm

The command line interface program to generate a CDS file from a format file

Before starting the server, ensure that the configuration file defines the preferred adapter behavior.
