39.1 What Is Message Logger?
Message Logger is the component responsible for logging the messages to different output targets.
Several components of ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management use Message Logger to log messages,
including zenloader and webservices on the server and the ZENworks management daemon (ZMD),
Remote Management, and Policy Enforcers on the client. For more information about ZENworks
services, see
Section 5.1, "ZENworks Services," on page
Message Logger logs the messages in different output targets, such as e-mails, SNMP traps, writes
to the database, local and system log files, and the central log file.
39.2 Message Severity
Messages are classified in the following three categories:
Error: Indicates that an action cannot be completed because of a user or system error. These
messages require immediate attention from an administrator.
Warning: Calls attention to an exception condition. These messages might not be an error but can
cause problems if not resolved. These messages do not require immediate attention from an
administrator.
Information: Provides feedback about something that happened in the product or system that is
important and informative for an administrator.
39.3 Message Format
Messages are logged on the managed device and Primary Server in the following format:
Severity: [time] Component_Name Message_ID Message_String
Additional_Info:Value_for_Additional_Info
