SNA Link/iX Node Managers Guide (30291-90507)

3 Logging Configuration
This chapter describes how to use the NMS configuration manager
(NMMGR) to create or modify a configuration file for logging. Basic
information about NMMGR is contained in Using the Node
Management Services Utilities; if you are not familiar with NMMGR,
you should read that manual before continuing. Note that the logging
configuration is completely HP e3000 dependent and has no
corresponding remote system configuration.
Once you have configured the SNA node, you must configure logging.
Logging records events such as errors and console commands, and is
configured according to subsystems. Within each subsystem, different
classes of events (such as internal errors) exist. You specify where you
want logging recorded for each of the classes in the subsystem: to a disk
file, the HP e3000 console, or the logon device of a
UserName.AccountName . If you configure a logging class so that logging
is recorded to a
UserName.AccountName , that user will receive logged
messages any time that
UserName.AccountName has an active session.
These topics are covered in this chapter:
• Configuration file validation
• Configuring logging
— “Main” screen
— “HP-IBM Configuration” screen
— “IBM Logging Configuration (1)” screen
— “IBM Logging Configuration (2)” screen
— “IBM Logging Configuration (3)” screen
— Enabling users for a specific subsystem and class
Table 3-1 provides a summary of the logging classes for which
configuration is described in this chapter, and guidelines for those
configurations. For more information about logging, see Chapter 5 ,
“SNA Link Troubleshooting,” in this manual.
NOTE If very high volumes of logging are recorded to the console or a set of
users, system performance might degrade. So, the Hewlett-Packard
recommended configuration should be followed unless you are advised
otherwise by your Hewlett-Packard support contact.
