Parameters


LOG

Enables or disables NMS logging of Network Services detailed events, configured as SUB0006, CLAS0004 in the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS configuration file. Detailed events are only used for troubleshooting and are normally disabled.

ON

Enables detailed logging of the specified Network Service modules.

OFF

Disables detailed logging of the specified Network Service modules.

For each Network Services software module, two levels of event logging are provided. These are HIGH, which logs all events, and LOW, the default, which logs a subset of the events, as specified below.

ALL

LOW — Logs LOW events for all modules.

HIGH — Logs HIGH events for all modules.

RPM

LOW — Logs RPMCREATE and RPMKILL requests.

HIGH — Same as LOW.

ENV

LOW — Logs environment information from DSLINE and REMOTE HELLO commands.

HIGH — Same as LOW, plus environment table locking and use counts.

DSDAD

LOW — Logs creation and deletion of sockets, ports, and server processes.

HIGH — Same as LOW, plus all received change requests and internal messages between DSDAD and server processes.

VTSERVER

LOW — Logs internal initialization messages between DSDAD and user processes.

HIGH — Same as LOW, plus all received messages from other processes.

DSSERVER

LOW — Logs internal initialization messages between DSDAD and user processes.

HIGH — Same as LOW, plus all received messages from other processes.

Defaults: ALL and LOW

Discussion


One of the log classes defined for the Network Services is detailed event logging, which records normal Network Services events. When first started and during normal operation, the Network Services detailed event logging is disabled in order to avoid the overhead of frequent logging. Typically, detailed event logging is only enabled to investigate a specific action or series of events if required for troubleshooting.

When detailed event logging is enabled, the log messages destination is determined by the configuration of NMMGR logging subsystem 6 class 4 (SUB0006, CLAS0004). The log file is the recommended destination for detailed logging. Logging detailed events to the system console is not recommended, since the log messages tend to clutter the console screen.

Example


The example below logs the environment information from DSLINE and REMOTE HELLO commands and the change requests received by the DSDAD process. You might use this type of event logging to monitor usage of the Network Services. The destination for CLAS0004 of SUB0006 specified in the NMMGR logging configuration should be to the NM log file, not the system console.
