25.2 Logging and Error Notification

You can configure the ARSControl.exe application for four levels of logging. The log level is set in the Registry Editor.

  1. Click Start > Run, then enter RegEdit. The Registry Editor is displayed.

  2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\ARS\LogLevel.

  3. Use the information in the following table to set the logging level:

    Name

    Value

    Description

    Normal

    0

    Produces the minimal logging.

    Use this level only if no errors are expected and you do not want to capture support information if an issue arises.

    If an error occurs, logging is not available.

    Error

    1

    The default log level.

    It causes ARSControl to log high-level errors.

    Use this only if no errors are expected and you want to capture support information if an issue arises.

    If an error occurs, a high-level log is recorded with a time stamp.

    Action

    Adds basic information to the log.

    This information records the actions created from the configuration XML parse operation.

    Verbose

    Use this only to troubleshoot an existing ARSControl problem or during the development phases of a configuration file.
