5.1.4. Log Client Specifi c Configuration
This window controls the local log settings that will be in effect for t he node on which this Log Client
runs.

Field Description

Client Port. The port number for communication between the Log Client and the HPSS Servers. The
default value is 8101. Ensure that the specified port is not being used by other appl ications. The port
number must be a different number than the Daemon Port used by the Log Daemon.
Maximum Local Log Size. The maximum size in bytes of the local log file. Once this size is reached,
the log will be reused in a wraparound fashion. The default value is 5,242,880 (5 MB). The local log is
not archived.
Local Logfile (UNIX). The fully qualified path name of the local log file. The default value is
/var/hpss/log/local.log. If Local Logfile is specified in the Log Messages To field, those messages sent
to this instance of the Log Client will be formatted and written to the designate d file name. The specified
file name will contain formatted messages only from HPSS applications running on the node on which
this instance of the Log Client is running. This option is provided as a convenience feature. All HPSS
messages will be written to a central log if Log Daemon is specified in the Log Messages To fiel d.
Log Messages To. If neither Local Logfile nor Syslog is specified, no local logging will occur. If Log
Daemon is not specified, messages from HPSS processes on the same node as this Log Client will not be
written to the central log. The Syslog option should be used with care since the syslog file will grow
without bound until it is deleted/truncated, or until the file system runs out of space. The following check
boxes describe where the log messages will go.
•Log Daemon. If checked, messages are forwarded to the HPSS Log Daemon to be recorded
in a central logfile.
•Local Logfile. If checked, messages are formatted and recorded in a local log file. This
should not be checked if Stdout is also checked.
•Syslog. If checked, messages are formatted and sent to the host's syslog daemon.
•Stdout. If checked, messages are formatted and sent to the Log Client's standard output. This
should not be checked if Local Logfile is also checked.
