The logging screens described previously in this chapter make it possible to completely configure logging for all subsystems by traversing only six screens. However, using these screens, it is not possible to configure logging so that messages generated by specific logging classes are sent to an individual user's list device.

The following steps describe the method used to configure users to receive logging messages. Using this method, you can create a configuration that allows messages from a single logging class, or a set of classes, to be sent to a user's list device.

To do so, you access and update the Logging Configuration Class Data screen (#67) in Figure 13-7 “Netxport Log Configuration (6) Screen”, according to the steps that follow.

Figure 13-8 Logging Configuration: Class Data Screen

[Logging Configuration: Class Data Screen]
  1. Type the path name:

    LOGGING.SUBnnnn.CLASnnnn

    in the command window of any screen and press the [ENTER] key, where SUBnnnn is the subsystem ID and CLASnnnn is the class name of the logging class you want directed to the user's list device.

  2. To enable console logging for this subsystem logging class, enter a Y in the Enable console logging? field. To disable console logging, enter an N. Be aware that changing the value in this field will override the previous setting for the logging class you are configuring.

  3. To enable disk logging for this subsystem logging class, enter a Y in the Enable disk logging? field. To disable console logging, enter an N. Be aware that changing the value in this field will override the previous setting for the logging class you are configuring.

  4. Enter up to three names, in the form user.account, in the Users enabled for logging fields. If these fields already contain names it is because user names were previously configured using this screen. If less than three user names are configured, type the new user name in an empty field. If all fields are used, type over one of the old user names to replace it with the new user name. (Note that the user name you type over will no longer be enabled to receive these logging messages.)

  5. Press the [Save Data] function key to modify the data record.

  6. Press the [Prior Screen] key to return to the screen from which you accessed the Logging Configuration: Class Data screen.

    Repeat the above procedure for each subsystem logging class for which you want to enable users.

    CAUTION: Enabling users to receive logging messages can strain system resources. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use this capability sparingly and only for short periods of time.
