Stream Trace
Log messages currently in the streamevent.log file are converted to a structured message and assigned
the “stream trace” facility number. Other messages that record stream creation, routing, or playout are
converted to a structured message and assigned the “stream trace” facility number. This enhancement,
along with configuring syslog-ng to direct all “stream trace” facility messages to a single, centralized
log server, provides a coherent set of log messages that describe stream history.
Facility Information, and Associated Log File and Debug Flags
For information on each facility and associated log file and debug flags, use the loginfo tool The loginfo
tool can run on any CDS server, including the CDSM. Start a Telnet or SSH session, log in to the CDS
server, and enter the loginfo command without any arguments. Information on each facility is listed.
Configuring Logging Levels
All logging is configured at the System Level or Server Level. The configuration of the logging levels
at the Server Level overrides the System Level settings.
To set a log level for a facility at the Server Level, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Configure > Server Level > Logging. The Log page is displayed.
Step 2 From the Server IP drop-down list, select an IP address.
Step 3 From the Facility Name drop-down list, select a facility and click Display. The Log Level fields are
displayed.
The facilities list is based on the configuration of the system.
Step 4 Enter the Log Level settings as appropriate. See Table 4-45 for descriptions of the fields.
Table 4-45 Log Level Fields
