administration program, see “Controlling Logging

Some problem and exception messages, which may require corrective
action, are displayed on the HP-UX system console as well as being
written to the log file. You can suppress these console messages by using
the -s option when starting the SNAplus2 software (refer to the
HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Command Reference for more
information). Messages are then written only to the log file.
Using Log Information
In general, you should review the error log file first to help resolve any
problem you encounter when using SNAplus2.
The log files contain a Message action field, which describes any
recommended action as a result of the message. In some cases, no action
is required. For example, an exception message may not indicate an error
but may provide background information that helps to identify the cause
