Configuring the Hardware Management Agent Logging Level

To configure the logging level, modify the hwagentd_log_levels parameter in the hwmgmtd.conf file. The hwagentd_log_levels parameter is a bit flag set expressed as a decimal integer. The following table explains the different logging levels that can be configured using the various bit fields.

Log Level	Bit Code	Messages Logged
EMERG	0x0001	Information about the system being unusable
ALARM	0x0002	Information about any immediate action that must be taken
CRIT	0x0004	Information related to the Hardware Management Agent either not starting or stopping because of critical conditions
ERROR	0x0008	Information related to the Hardware Management either not starting or stopping because of critical conditions
WARNING	0x0010	Information about any conditions that generate a warning, which do not stop the Hardware Management Agent
NOTICE	0x0020	Information related to normal functioning which is significant
INFO	0x0040	Informative messages about normal functioning
DEBUG	0x0080	Verbose debug-level messages, useful in troubleshooting
TRACE	0x0100	Highly verbose debug-level messages, useful in troubleshooting

Note - levels DEBUG and TRACE generate a lot of detailed messages and are designed for troubleshooting. These levels are not recommended for production usage.

For example, when you want to set all logging levels between EMERG and NOTICE, the bit code values of all the required levels must be added and then converted to a decimal value. Referring to preceding table, the addition would be as follows:

0x0001 + 0x0002 + 0x0004 + 0x0008 + 0x0010 + 0x0020 = 0x003f

Converting this hexadecimal value to decimal equals 63, which is the desired log level. This is the decimal number that should be assigned to the hwagentd_log_levels parameter in the hwmgmtd.conf file.
