The event log messages display real-time information about the state of
the system, a specific service, or both, and can help you diagnose
site-specific problems. The event log captures several types of log
messages from various services (applications) and sends them to the
Administration Console.
Event logging generates a great deal of detailed data. It can therefore
have significant performance implications. Use it only for troubleshooting
purposes.
You can display the current settings for the event log. The display
identifies the output device, the severity levels for the log messages, and
the supported services.
For the Administration Console, you can configure one or more of these
severity levels:
error — Logs application-specific error messages to the Console
warning — Indicates a nonfatal problem
config — Indicates configuration changes
info — Indicates changes in the state of the system that are not
caused by events at any other severity level
At this release, you can enable the logging of messages that pertain to
the following services:
System level
AppleTalk
IPX
For a specific service or all services, you can configure one or more of the
four severity levels.
