Modifying Log Settings

You can modify log settings for hosts, hosts in a domain, or an individual host by using the Domain Log Settings or Host Log Settings options.

On the home page of the console, click Hosts.
To modify the log settings for all hosts in a domain, select the domain. To modify the log settings for an individual host, select the host in the navigation pane.
Click Domain Log Settings or Host Log Settings in the task pane, then modify the following settings:
- File Name: Specify the filename and location of the log file. All the details are by default logged in logs/unifid.log.
- Level: Set the level of information you need. The default level is Info.
  - Error for Error messages.
  - Warning for Warning and Error messages.
  - Info for Information, Warning, and Error messages.
  - Debug for Debug, Information, Warning, and Error messages.
  - Trace for Trace, Debug, Information, Warning, and Error messages.
    
    NOTE:The Debug and Trace settings generate a lot of data and are primarily for the use of NetIQ Support.
Show all tasks: Click Show all tasks to include all tasks in the log. The Show all tasks option is primarily for the use of NetIQ Support.

Roll Over: Select the rollover point from the drop-down list to specify when the log file is overwritten with new information. If the maximum size set for the log file is reached, the log file is overwritten regardless of this setting.

Max Size (MB): Select the maximum size of the log file from the drop-down list. This specifies when the log is overwritten with new information.

Roll Over Script: Enter a Perl script to be executed at the rollover point. For a sample script, see Example Rollover Script.
Click Next to apply the changes.

If the changes are applied successfully, a green indicator is displayed next to the agent name.

If the changes are not applied successfully (for example, if the host is not online), a red indicator is displayed next to the agent name.
Click Close.
