Imonitor Message Filtering; Sal Message Filtering; Configuring The Severity Levels - Novell EDIRECTORY 8.8 - GUIDE Manual

iMonitor Message Filtering

You can filter the iMonitor trace messages based on the connection ID, thread ID, or error number.
To filter based on the connection ID and thread ID, ensure that you have enabled them in the Trace
Configuration tab.
For more information, refer to the iMonitor online help. The iMonitor online help is present in the
iMonitor screens.

SAL Message Filtering

SAL has been enhanced to log extensive information on errors on demand. Function calls can be
traced with arguments in the debug builds.

Configuring the Severity Levels

You can use the SAL_LogLevels parameter to configure the severity levels for the SAL messages.
SAL_LogLevels is a comma separated list of desired log levels.
The log levels are explained in the table below:
Table 7 SAL Message Filtering Parameters
Parameter Name
LogCrit
LogErr
LogWarn
LogInfo
LogDbg
LogCall
LogAll
A '-' at the beginning of a specific log level disables that level.
For example, to filter based on all the log levels, except LogInfo and LogDbg, enter the following:
export SAL_LogLevels=LogAll,-LogInfo,-LogDbg
Description
