Chapter 15       Logging Attributes


The Logging Attributes are global attributes. The values applied to them are applied across the iPlanet Directory Server Access Management Edition (DSAME) configuration and are inherited by every configured organization. (They can not be applied directly to roles or organizations as the goal of global attributes is to customize the DSAME application.) The Logging Attributes are:

• Max Log Size

• Number of History Files

• Log Location

• Logging Type

• Database User Name

• Database User Password

• Database Driver Name

Max Log Size

---

This attribute accepts a value for the maximum size (in bytes) of a DSAME log file. A number up to one million can be input in the value field. The default value is 1000000.

Number of History Files

---

This attribute has a value equal to the number of backup log files that will be retained for historical analysis. Any integer can be input depending on the partition size and available disk space of the local system. The default value is 3.

Log Location

---

The file-based logging function needs a location where log files can be stored. This field accepts a full directory path to that location. The default location is /DSAMEServer_root/SUNWam/logs/. If a non-default directory is being used, this directory must have write permission to the user under which DSAME is running.

---

Note	Any changes in logging attribute values require a restart of the DSAME server before the changes are activated.

---

Logging Type

---

This attribute allows you to specify either File, for flat file logging, or JDBC for database logging.

Database User Name

---

This attribute accepts the name of the user that will connect to the database when the Logging Type attribute is set to JDBC.

Database User Password

---

This attribute accepts the database user password when the Logging Type attribute is set to JDBC.

Database Driver Name

---

This attribute allows the user to specify the driver that is to be used for the logging implementation class.
