Neoview Workload Management Services Guide (R2.5)

Log the Service Details to a File
You can log the status of the services, including any threshold violations, and the service
definitions to a .log file on your computer. When you start logging, the Neoview Performance
Analyzer (or the Neoview Query Viewer) automatically updates the log file at regular intervals
(every 30 seconds by default) with the latest services data.
At 24:00 each night, NPA (or NQV) automatically rolls over (that is, overwrites) the log file,
saving the previous day's logged data in a separate file within the same directory. The separate
log file is named after the log file with the previous day's date appended to the file name. For
example, if the log file is named logfile.log, the previous day's data will be stored in a file
named logfile-MMM_DD_YYYY.log (for example, logfile-JUL_30_2010.log).
