The screens in this chapter are those you would see when configuring logging.
The Logging Configuration branch of NMMGR begins with a screen called
the Netxport Log Configuration screen. Figure 12-1
"Logging Configuration Screen Flow" shows the screen flow for configuring
the logging screens. Screens unique to logging are indicated by bold boxed
screens. [FUNCTION] denotes the function key used at a screen to invoke
the next screen on the screen flow.
Figure 12-1 Logging Configuration Screen Flow
Logging is configured for the purpose of recording events such as errors and
console commands. You configure logging for each of the network subsystems and
links. Each subsystem includes different classes of events
(such as internal errors).
You can record logging to a disk file for later analysis,
to the system console so that the system operator receives the messages,
or both. You can also display logging events at individual users' list
devices. This may be valuable to allow the network manager to monitor
NS console activity from an alternate terminal. If you configure
a logging class so that logging is recorded to a user.account,
the user will receive logged messages any time there is an active
session for that user.account. (Take care if
you enable users for logging; doing so can place a strain on system
resources.)
The guided configuration process, described in the HP
e3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide, configures
logging for you using defaults. You can also configure or modify
the logging subsystem using either guided or unguided configuration.
Perform the following steps to reach the logging configuration
screens for manual configuration:
Run NMMGR. The Open Configuration/Directory File screen is
displayed
Enter the configuration file name (NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS) and
password, if a password is needed, and press the [Open Config]
function key. The Main screen is displayed.
Press the [NS] function key. The NS Configuration screen is
displayed.
Press the [Unguided Config] function key to display the
Unguided Configuration screen.
Press the [Go To Logging] function key. The first of six
logging configuration screens is displayed.
NOTE: HP recommends that you use the default logging configuration
values unless your HP representative tells you otherwise. Not using the
recommended default values may result in the degration of system performance.
For more information on logging classes and subsystems see the NS 3000/iX
Operations and Maintenance Reference Manual.
