Examples: Manipulating Log Limiters

Do the following while logged into the primary Screen.

To Display the global global  log limiter:

admin% ssadm -r primary edit Initial
edit> vars print name=LogSeverity
NAME="LogSeverity" ENABLED VALUE="INFO" DESCRIPTION="global log severity limit"

To display the global log limiter for authentication events:

admin% ssadm -r primary edit Initial
edit> vars print prg=auth name=LogSeverity
PRG="auth" NAME="LogSeverity" ENABLED VALUE="INFO" DESCRIPTION="global log severity limit, 
authentication"...

To log more debugging information on a particular Screen for authentication events:

admin% ssadm -r primary edit Initial
edit> vars add sys=Screenname prg=auth name=LogSeverity value=debug 
description="debug authentication operations"

edit> quit

Although, the output produced by print surrounds the value of each item in double quotes, these are only necessary on input if there are embedded spaces within the values of items. Also, although print outputs all tag names in capital letters (for example, PRG=), these tags are recognized in a case-insensitive manner on input (for example, prg=, Prg=, PRG= are equivalent). Finally, the VALUE string for the LogSeverity variable is likewise processed in a case-insensitive manner.
