Windows NT/2000 Event Viewer Logging Option
To Enable the Logging Tool
1. Create the following file on the NetBackup master server:
install_path\NetBackup\db\config\eventlog
2. Add an entry (optional) to the eventlog file that specifies the severity and type of
NetBackup messages that are written. The following is an example:
56 255
The next topic explains the format of the entry. If you do not add an entry, a default
value is used, which is also explained in the next topic.
eventlog File Entries
The eventlog entry has two parameters:
◆ The first parameter controls which messages NetBackup writes to the Application
Log, based on severity level.
◆ The second parameter controls which type of messages NetBackup writes to the
Application Log.
Both parameters are specified as decimal numbers and equate to a bitmap that expresses
the values below:
Severity:
1 = Unknown
2 = Debug
4 = Info
8 = Warning
16 = Error
32 = Critical
Type:
1 = Unknown
2 = General
4 = Backup
8 = Archive
16 = Retrieve
32 = Security
