Capturing Log Files

In some cases, if JavaOS fails, it may broadcast an SNMP trap. The trap can be received by any SNMP manager listening on the (sub)net. There is a simple SNMP trap receiver supplied with JavaOS state information in a log file.

To Capture Log Files for JavaOS

1. Run the following command on any machine in the (sub)net:

   ---

   # /opt/SUNWjsos/bin/snmptrapd -x /opt/SUNWjsos/bin/logdumper&
   

   ---

If failures do occur, they are saved in the /tmp directory of the server machine with the following unique file name:

/tmp/javaos.log.<IP address of failed client>@<time
in seconds since January 1, 1970>

You can browse the log file to determine errors that may have caused a failure. You may also want to add the snmptrapd command to the Solaris initialization and booting hierarchy. See the README files in /etc/init.d and /etc/rc2.d for details.

Not all JavaStation client failures result in a log file creation on the server machine.
