Logging for Windows Clients

Logging for Windows clients is controlled by options in the Registry for

Win32 as described in the HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide.

Problem and exception messages are logged to the error log ﬁle, and

audit messages are logged to the audit log ﬁle.

Problem messages are always logged and cannot be disabled, but you can

specify whether to log exception and audit messages. If either of these

options is not explicitly speciﬁed, issue the

snapadmin set_global_log_type command on the server:

If central logging is enabled (by issuing the

snapadmin set_central_logging command on the server), all

messages from the client are written to the central log ﬁle. Otherwise,

you can specify the following:

• Local ﬁles on the Windows client to hold error and audit messages

• Files to be used for backing up log information

• The size at which log ﬁles are backed up and reset

• Whether to use verbose logging or succinct logging

Log ﬁles are backed up and reset in the same way as they are for HP-UX

computers, except that the default maximum size for a Windows log ﬁle

is 10,000 bytes (not 1,000,000 bytes as for HP-UX).
