4.2.2 Using Status Documents to Generate Events

Status documents generated through style sheets using the <xsl:message> element are sent to
Novell Audit with an event ID that corresponds to the status document level attribute. The level
attributes and corresponding event IDs are defined in the following table:
Status Documents
Table 4-2
Status Level
Success
Retry
Warning
Error
Fatal
User Defined
The following example generates an event 0x004 and value1=7777, with a level of
EV_LOG_STATUS_ERROR:
<xsl:message>
<status level="error" text1="This would be text1" value="7777">This data would
be in the blob and in text 2, since no value is specified for text2 in the
attributes.</status>
</xsl:message>

Description
The value of this field depends upon the event. The default size of this
field is 3072 characters.
You can configure the size of this field in the LogMaxBigData value in
logevent.cfg. This value does not set the size of the Data field, but it
does set the maximum size that the Platform Agent can log. For more
information, see Chapter 3, "Installing and Configuring the Platform
Agent," on page 13.
The maximum size of the Data field is defined by the database where the
data is logged, so the size varies for each database that is used. If the
size of the Data field logged by the Platform Agent exceeds the maximum
size allowed by the database, the channel driver truncates the data in the
Data field.
If an event has more data than can be stored in the String and Numeric
value fields, it is possible to store up to 3 KB of binary data in the Data
field.
