Solaris_LogService Class

The Solaris_LogService class controls the operation of the logging service and defines the ways in which log data is handled. This class has a set of methods that an application can use to distribute data about a particular event to the CIM Object Manager from the issuing application. The data becomes a trigger that generates a response from the CIM Object Manager, such as a retrieval of data from the CIM Repository.

The Solaris_LogService class has the following methods:

• clearLog - Saves and renames a current log file or deletes a saved log file

• getNumRecords - Returns the number of records in a particular log file

• listLogFiles - Returns a list of all log files stored in /usr/sadm/wbem/log

• getCurrentLogFileName - Returns the name of the most recent log file

• getNumLogFiles - Returns the number of log files stored in /usr/sadm/wbem/log

• getLogFileSize - Returns the size, in megabytes, of a particular log file

• getSyslogSwitch - Enables log data to be sent to syslog, the logging service of the Solaris operating environment

• getLogStorageName - Returns the name of the host computer or device where log files are stored

• getLogFileDir - Returns the path and name of the directory where log files are stored

The Solaris_LogServiceProperties class lets you set logging properties. See "Setting Logging Properties".

You can view the definition of the Solaris_LogService class in the Solaris_Core1.0.mof file, which is located in /usr/sadm/mof/.
