56.4.1 Controlling WebAccess Agent Logging

The WebAccess Agent provides logging options to help you monitor the operation of the agent. The
WebAccess Agent logs information to the console and to a log file on disk (by default, disk logging
is turned off). You can control the following logging features:
The type of information to log.
Whether disk logging is on or off.
How long to retain log files.
The maximum amount of disk space to use for log files.
Where to store log files.
You can control logging through ConsoleOne, WebAccess Agent startup switches, and the
WebAccess Agent console. The following table shows which logging options you can control from
each location.

The log settings in ConsoleOne are used as the default settings. Startup switches override the
ConsoleOne log settings, and agent console settings override startup switches and ConsoleOne
settings for the current agent session.
Whether or not logging is turned on by default varies by platform:
NetWare and
Windows:
Linux:
When logging is turned on, the WebAccess Agent creates a new log file each day and each time it is
started. The log file is named
sequenced number (001 for the first log file of the day, 002 for the second, and so forth).
