Controlling Logging Using the Motif
Administration Program
The easiest way to control logging of events for SNAplus2 is to use the
Motif administration program (xsnapadmin). This program provides a
graphical user interface from which you can perform diagnostic tasks,
such as selecting the type of logging for your system, as well as the
message types to log.
To start the Motif administration program, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Type xsnapadmin at the command line and press Enter. The main
window is displayed.
Step 2. Select the Diagnostics menu.
NOTE You can also select the Diagnostics menu from the node window.
Step 3. Select Logging.
The Logging dialog is displayed, which enables you to control the
following logging activities:
Central logging or Local logging
If you want a central error log for all servers and
clients, choose Central logging. If you want logs to be
made locally at each machine, choose Local logging.
You can choose central or local logging only when the
Motif administration program is in contact with a
master server because central logging is performed by
the master.
Log exceptions
Select this option to instruct the system to log all
exception events. If you make this selection, you will be
prompted to select verbose or succinct logging. When
you have done this, click OK.
This selection affects all machines in the domain
