Delete. Deletes the selected log policy(s).
9.2.2.1. Logging Policy Co nfiguration Window
The Logging Policy window is used to manage a log policy.
When creating a new log policy, the Descriptive Name field will be blank, and a set of default options
will be selected. If there is a Default Logging Policy defined, the default log options will match those in
the global configuration's Default Logging Policy. If there is no Default Logging Policy defined in the
global configuration, then the Alarm, Event, SSM Alarm, SSM Event and SSM Status log options will be
enabled and the rest will be disabled.
For logging of a record type to be enabled, the checkbox located to the left of the log record type must be
selected. The log state for each record type can be toggled by clicking on the checkbox.
After creating or modifying a Logging Policy, including the Default Logging Policy, reinitialize the
appropriate Log Clients to make the changes effective. For example, if you only modified policies for
servers which execute on host A, then only the Log Client which runs on host A needs to be reinitia lized.
Mover log policies are managed differently; if you modify the log policy for a Mover, that Mover itself
must be reinitialized for the new log policy to take effect.
Field Descriptions
Descriptive Name. The descriptive name of the HPSS server or utility to which this log policy applies.
The name must match exactly to the descriptive name used by the server or utility; otherwise the Default
Logging Policy will be used. The Descriptive Name is case sensitive. For a new policy, this field will be
blank and the user must enter a server name. Since it is easy to enter a mis-matched Descriptive Name, it
is recommended that the log policy be created via the server’s configuration window using the Log
Policy tab where the Descriptive Name will be automatically filled in.
Record Types to Log. Record types that are to be logged for the specified server. If a checkbox is
selected for a record type, that type will be recorded by the Log Client. The record types are:
•ALARM. A message reporting a high-level error condition of interest to the administrator. It is
