Chapter 13       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:

• Log Status

• Max Log Size

• Number of History Files

• Log Location

Log Status

---

This attribute can have either a value of active or inactive. Selecting either choice from the menu will activate or deactivate DSAME's logging function, respectively. If the status is inactive, no log files will be generated. The default value is active.

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.
