Logging and troubleshooting
206 Administering Platform LSF
EGO log level and class information retrieved from configuration files
When EGO is enabled, the pem and vemkd daemons read ego.conf to retrieve the
following information (as corresponds to the particular daemon):
◆ EGO_LOG_MASK: The log level used to determine the amount of detail
logged.
◆ EGO_DEBUG_PEM: The log class setting for pem.
◆ EGO_DEBUG_VEMKD: The log class setting for vemkd.
The
wsm daemon reads wsm.conf to retrieve the following information:
◆ LOG_LEVEL: The configured log classcontrolling the level of event
information that is logged (
INFO, ERROR, WARNING, or DEBUG)
The
wsg daemon reads wsg.conf to retrieve the following information:
◆ WSG_PORT: The port on which the Web service gateway
(WebServiceGateway) should run
◆ WSG_SSL: Whether the daemon should use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for
communication.
◆ WSG_DEBUG_DETAIL: The log level used to determine the amount of detail
logged for debugging purposes.
◆ WSG_LOGDIR: The directory location where wsg.log files are written.
The service director daemon (
named) reads named.conf to retrieve the following
information:
◆ logging, severity: The configured severity log class controlling the level of event
information that is logged (
critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug,
or
dynamic). In the case of a log class set to debug, a log level is required to
determine the amount of detail logged for debugging purposes.
Why do log files
grow so quickly?
Every time an EGO system event occurs, a log file entry is added to a log file. Most
entries are informational in nature, except when there is an error condition. If your
log levels provide entries for all information (for example, if you have set them to
LOG_DEBUG), the files will grow quickly.
Suggested settings:
◆ During regular EGO operation, set your log levels to LOG_WARNING. With
this setting, critical errors are logged but informational entries are not, keeping
the log file size to a minimum.
LOG_INFO Log all informational messages and more serious messages.
LOG_DEBUG Log all debug-level messages.
LOG_TRACE Log all available messages.
