logout. When you enable tracing, make sure that you set a trace level.
Table 5-5 describes the trace levels in Evweb.
Table 5-5 Trace Levels in Evweb
DescriptionTrace Level
The system logs only those situations in Evweb that cause major failures.
Example: The database server is not functioning properly or is down.
1-Critical
The system logs those situations that cause an error.
Example: There is more than one name. Evweb accepts only one name.
Critical situations are also logged at the Error trace level.
2-Error
The system logs situations that result in warning messages.
Example: A warning is generated when the default setting is modified.
Both critical and error situations are logged at the Warning trace level.
3-Warning
The system logs situations that result in information messages.
Example: An information is generated when a non-administrator attempts
to perform a task that can be performed only by an administrator.
Critical, error, and warning situations are logged at the Information trace
level.
4-Information
Evweb logs traces for a session for the set trace level. At the end of a session, tracing is
automatically disabled. In an active session, the trace level remains valid until you modify it.
The traces for a session are also logged in the samlog.log. The path to the samlog.log file is
/var/sam/log/samlog.log. From the GUI, you can access the samlog.log file from HP
SMH home page -> Logs -> Samlog. The samlog.log file contains all the administrative
commands executed on a system. The errors generated during the execution of these
administrative commands are also stored in the samlog.log file.
