Logging Box
The Logging box displays the logged information. The current log level determines the amount of
information that is displayed (see "F10 = Options" on page 947). For each line, the first item is the
number of the thread that processed the user's request, the second item is the time of the request, and
the third item is the information associated with the request.
F7 = Exit
Press F7 to shut down the WebAccess Agent.
F9 = Browse Logfile
Press F9 to view the log file. If disk logging is turned on, the current log file is displayed. If disk
logging is turned off, a list of old log files is displayed (if any exist). You can then choose which log
file you want to view.
F10 = Options
Press F10, then select View Log Files or Logging Options. Using the logging options, you can
specify the logging level, turn disk logging on or off, specify the number of days to keep old log
files, and specify the maximum amount of disk space to use for log files.
Any changes you make to the logging options apply only to the current session. When you restart
®
the WebAccess Agent, the logging level is reset to the level specified in ConsoleOne or in the
startup file ( ).
strtweb.ncf
Log Level: Off turns logging off; Normal displays initial statistics, user logins, warnings, and errors;
Verbose displays Normal logging plus user requests; and Diagnostic displays Verbose logging plus
thread information. The default is Normal logging. Use Diagnostic only if you are troubleshooting a
problem with WebAccess.
File Logging: Turns disk logging on or off. When disk logging is turned on, the WebAccess Agent
creates a new log file each day and each time it is restarted. The log file is named ,
mmddweb.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 for the log files is the
directory.
domain\wpgate\webac80a\xxx.prc
The verbose and diagnostic logging levels do not degrade WebAccess Agent performance, but log
files saved to disk consume more disk space when verbose or diagnostic logging is in use.
Max Log File Age: Specifies the number of days you want the WebAccess Agent to retain old log
files. The WebAccess 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: Specifies the maximum amount of disk space you want to use for log files. If
the disk space limit is exceeded, the WebAccess 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).
Linux: Using the WebAccess Agent Server Console
By default, the Linux Agent runs as a daemon with no user interface. To display information on the
server where the WebAccess Agent runs, you must start the WebAccess Agent with the --show
startup switch. The console is displayed in a terminal window.
