Callpoints are the only component that is handled differently, their logs and traces
always go to the directory CH/InstallITM/plugin/executionEvents. The default
location for installation is CH/logs/itm_install.log(.trc) and for configuration it
is CH/logs/itm_config.log(.trc).
To gather all the needed logs and environment information in case of an error, use
the pdcollect tool. See "pdcollect tool" on page 59.

Tivoli Distributed Monitoring upgrade log file
All upgrade actions performed by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Upgrade Toolkit are
recorded in a central log with an associated user ID and a time stamp.
Upgrade actions taken outside of the Upgrade Toolkit are not recorded in the log.

timestamp.log
where:
$DBDIR
The Tivoli Management Environment Framework environment variable
that specifies the directory where the Object Repository (odb.bdb) is
located.
tool Specifies the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Upgrade Toolkit tool: witmscantmr,
witmassess, or witmupgrade.

The log file name displays when the Upgrade Toolkit tool completes the upgrade
operation. Each time a Upgrade Toolkit tool runs, its generates a new log file that
is never reused by any tool. The contents of the log file conform to the Tivoli
Message Standard XML logging format. The following example is an excerpt from
an Upgrade Toolkit tool log file:
