Log Messages
Error and audit logging has been changed, as follows:
• Log message files are now formatted ASCII text files, with the
header information for each message displayed in easily readable
text. You no longer need to use the Browse program for viewing log
files; you can use a standard ASCII text editor.
• All information related to a log message, including cause and action,
is included in the log file, or (if succinct logging is being used) is
accessed using the snaphelp utility. There is no additional
documentation for log messages; the HP-UX SNAplus Diagnostics
Guide from SNAplus, which included the cause and action
information, has been retired.
• The log message levels used in SNAplus (16, 12, 10, 8, 6) have been
replaced by three log message types (Problem, Exception, and Audit).
• Many of the messages used in SNAplus have been retired and
replaced by new messages. In addition, message numbers have been
reassigned so that each component has a well-defined range of
numbers. This means that you should not attempt to search Release
6 log message files for a particular message that was used in
SNAplus (either by searching for the message number or by
searching for specific message text).
For more information about SNAplus2 log messages, refer to the chapter
on log messages in the HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide.
