Configuring the Hardware Management Agent Logging Level

To configure the logging level, modify the hwagentd_log_levels parameter in the hwmgmtd.conf file. There are two ways to configure the logging level. The easiest way to configure the logging level is to set the hwagentd_log_levels parameter to one of the following levels.

Log Level Messages Logged ERROR Any error messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent WARNING Any error and warning messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent INFO Any error and warning messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent and informative messages about normal functioning

Alternatively, you can set the logging level with a finer level of granularity by using the bit flags from the following table.

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 about any error messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent WARNING 0x0010 Information about any error and warning messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent NOTICE 0x0020 Information related to normal functioning INFO 0x0040 Information about any error and warning messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent and informative messages about normal functioning DEBUG 0x0080 Verbose debug-level messages, useful in troubleshooting TRACE 0x0100 Highly verbose debug-level messages, useful in troubleshooting

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.
