Monitoring and Messaging Log Files

The monitoring log file holds messages from the registration and deregistration of nodes by the Farm Manager. This file also holds all messages that the monitoring daemon generates. Check this log file as part of your day-to-day activities and take the appropriate action to correct any errors as necessary. See Chapter 7, Troubleshootingfor details.

Log file rotation is configured automatically by the slconfig command used in the postinstall package at installation time. The default log file size in the /etc/opt/terraspring/logfile_rotation is 5 MBytes.

The monitoring debug level governs the verbosity of the monitoring system's messages logged in the /var/opt/terraspring/log/mon.log file.

By default the debug level is set to 9. To change the debug level edit the /etc/opt/terraspring/tspr.properties file on the N1 Provisioning Server:

com.terraspring.mon.MonLog.debugLevel=debug level value

Logs of all messages forwarded to an NMS are located in the /var/opt/terraspring/log/snmp.log file.

The default Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) verbosity level is set to 9. The SNMP messages are logged into the /var/opt/terraspring/log/snmp.log file.

To change the SNMP verbosity level, edit the /etc/opt/terraspring/tspr.properties file on the N1 Provisioning Server:

com.terraspring.mon.snmpLog.debugLevel=debug level value
