Modifying Log Settings Through Startup Switches - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

3 Modify any of the following properties:
Log File Path: The Internet Agent creates a new log file each day and each time it is started.
The log file is named mmddgwia.nnn, where mm is the month, dd is the day, and nnn is a
sequenced number (001 for the first log file of the day, 002 for the second, and so forth). The
default location of the log files depends on the platform where the Internet Agent is running.
NetWare domain\wpgate\gwia\000.prc
and
Windows:
Linux:
/var/log/novell/groupwise/domain_name.gwia
If you want to specify a different location, enter the directory path or browse to and select the
directory.
Logging Level: There are four logging levels:
Off: Disables the logging function.
Normal: Displays warnings and error messages. This is the preferred logging level.
Verbose: Displays information about traffic, including non-delivery reports, in addition to
warnings and error messages. Information includes the filename, path, message ID, and
size of the message being processed; the IP address of any inbound SMTP connections;
the Internet Agent-specific MSG number; and SMTP connection messages such as
"Connect to novell.com" and "Accepted connection from 172.16.5.18 novell.com".
Diagnostic: Displays detailed function calls made by the Internet Agent. This level is not
useful for most troubleshooting. Verbose is better for standard troubleshooting.
The Verbose and Diagnostic logging levels do not degrade Internet Agent performance, but log
files saved to disk consume more disk space when Verbose or Diagnostic logging is in use.
Max Log File Age: Specify the number of days you want the Internet Agent to retain old log
files. The Internet Agent retains the log file for the specified number of days unless the
maximum disk space for the log files is exceeded. The default age is 30 days.
Max Log Disk Space: Specify the maximum amount of disk space you want to use for log
files. If the disk space limit is exceeded, the Internet Agent deletes log files, beginning with the
oldest file, until the limit is no longer exceeded. The default disk space is 102400 KB (100
MB).
