Tracing is a feature that enables you to log and report errors. You can use tracing to log
information about problems encountered while using Evweb. In this document, this information
is referred to as trace records. The trace records are stored in the /var/opt/sfm/log/sfm.log
file. You can send the sfm.log file to the HP support center whenever you encounter a problem.
Following is a sample of the information logged in sfm.log.

You can enable, modify, and disable tracing for an Evweb session. A session is the duration
between a login and a logout. At the end of a session, tracing is automatically disabled. In an
active session, the trace level remains valid until you modify it.
Evweb provides the following trace levels in the descending order of severity:
• 1-Critical
• 2-Error
• 3-Warning
• 4-Information
Table 5-5 describes the trace levels in Evweb.
