Configuring Events to be Logged

Logs contain three basic types of events:

• network traffic (packet)

• network session summaries

• extended events

For a given program component, the level of logging can be specified. This is done by means of a variable setting for that component; the name of the variable is LogSeverity. A variable that is specific to a particular Screen overrides the general setting for that component. Beyond the variable setting for a specific component, a general (non-component-specific) variable controls otherwise unlimited logging; again, a variable that is specific to a given Screen overrides this general default. This search order can be summarized as:

	Key Sought
	---------------------------------------------------
sys=Screenname prg=programname 

name=LogSeverityprg=programname name=LogSeveritysys=Screenname name=LogSeverityname=LogSeverity

As initially configured, SunScreen EFS 3.0 contains variables defined for each program components logging variable, along with the non-component non-Screen (global global) default; all are initially set to the value "info".

Configuring events to be logged can only be configured using the command line interface.
