39.4 Debugging and Logging ZMD

The ZENworks Management Daemon (ZMD) provides the following preferences that can be used
for debugging and logging ZMD:
log-level: Used to set up custom logging levels. The valid values are off, fatal, error, warn, info,
and debug. To set the value of the preference, use the rug set log-level
'preference_value'command. For example, to set the log-level preference to debug, use
rug set log-level 'debug'. For more information about rug, view the rug man page
(man rug) on a managed device or see
log-soap-xml: Used to log SOAP messages. All messages are logged in the zmd-
messages.log file. The file is located in the /var/log/ directory on SLES 10 and SLED
10 devices, and in the /var/opt/novell/log/zenworks directory on all other devices.
For detailed ZMD logging information on SLES 10 and SLED 10, you can also refer to /var/
log/zmd-backend.log. For extensive logging of ZYPP, configure the ZYPP_FULLOG
environmental variable.
39.5 Viewing the Debug Logs on ZENworks
Server
The following logs are available on ZENworks Server:
ZENworks Server Logs: The ZENworks Server logs are located in the /var/opt/
novell/log/zenworks directory. Each log file corresponds to an individual component or
service. For example, the operations of ZENserver and ZENloader are logged in the
services-messages.log and loader-messages.log files respectively.
If you want to collect additional debug logging information for ZENworks Server, do the
following:
1. Edit the etc/opt/novell/zenworks/logger-server-conf.xml and
logger-loader-conf.xml to configure the following lines:
<LoggerModule trace = "true">
<param name="fileDebug" enable = "true" value ="true" />
2. Restart all the zlm services by using the zlm-config --restart command.
ZENworks Agent (zmd) Logs: The ZENworks Agent (zmd) logs are in the zmd-
messages.log and zmd-backend.log files. On SLES 11 devices, the backend logs are
in the zmd-satbackend.log file. For more information, view the zmd man page (man
zmd) on a managed device or see
Install and Uninstall Logs: The installation and uninstallation of ZENworks Server and
Agent are logged in the zlm-install.log and zlm-uninstall.log files.
