Specifying Log File Options

Specifying Log File Options
The Enterprise Server Administration Server log files record data about the server,
including the types of errors encountered and information about server access.
Viewing these logs allows you to monitor server activity and troubleshoot
problems by providing data like the type of error encountered and the time certain
files were accessed.
You can specify the type and format of the data recorded in the Enterprise Server
Administration Server logs using the Log Preferences page. For instance, you can
choose to log data about every client who accesses the Administration Server or
you can omit certain clients from the log. In addition, you can choose the Common
Logfile Format, which provides a fixed amount of information about the server, or
you can create a custom log file format that better suits your requirements.
Access the Administration Server Log Preferences page by choosing the
Preferences tab, then clicking the Logging Options link.
For more information, see The Logging Options Page in the online help, and
Chapter 9, "Using Log Files."
