Syslog
The Syslog provides logging and
report capabilities that you can use to diagnose problems and
fine-tune server performance.
On Solaris and Linux, the Syslog is
part of the operating system. It is typically configured by
editing the /etc/syslog.conf file. On NetWare, the same
capabilities are available by configuring the Syslog page of the
Internet Services container.
The Syslog page is available for
the Internet Services object and for NetWare Server objects. The
Syslog settings provided for the Internet Services object
establish defaults for your NIMS system. Settings provided for
individual NetWare Server objects allow you to customize logging
for specific servers. Specify the Syslog settings > click
Apply to save the settings.
Log Detail Select the
types of events you want recorded in the Syslog. Selecting
Emergency logs the least information; selecting Debug logs the
most information. Settings are cumulative, so if you select Debug,
all lesser levels of events are also logged.
Log File By default,
the messaging server's Syslog files are written to memory. If you
select Log to File, the messaging server continues to write the
Syslog to memory but intermittently flushes the log file to disk.
The SYSLOG FLUSH command forces the messaging server to flush the
log file in memory to disk
Select Do Not Log to turn off
logging.
Override Global Configuration
with Above Settings For the Mailing Lists object or an
individual NetWare Server object, the Syslog page initially
displays the default settings provided on the Internet Services
object. Change the Log Detail settings > select Override > click
Apply to customize the Syslog settings for the current object. If
you deselect Override > click Apply, the server-specific
settings are saved but are not used; the default settings from the
Internet Services Syslog are used instead. |
