/etc/nfs/nfslog.conf

This file defines the path, file names, and type of logging to be used by nfslogd. Each definition is associated with a tag. Starting NFS server logging requires that you identify the tag for each file system. The global tag defines the default values. You can use the following parameters with each tag as needed.

defaultdir=path

Specifies the default directory path for the logging files.

log=path/filename

Sets the path and file name for the log files.

fhtable=path/filename

Selects the path and file name for the file-handle-to-path database files.

buffer=path/filename

Determines the path and file name for the buffer files.

logformat=basic|extended

Selects the format to be used when creating user-readable log files. The basic format produces a log file similar to some ftpd daemons. The extended format gives a more detailed view.

For the parameters that can specify both the path and the file name, if the path is not specified, the path that is defined by defaultdir is used. Also, you can override defaultdir by using an absolute path.

To make identifying the files easier, place the files in separate directories. Here is an example of the changes that are needed.

% cat /etc/nfs/nfslog.conf
#ident  "@(#)nfslog.conf        1.5     99/02/21 SMI"
#
  .
  .
# NFS server log configuration file.
#

global  defaultdir=/var/nfs \
        log=nfslog fhtable=fhtable buffer=nfslog_workbuffer

publicftp log=logs/nfslog fhtable=fh/fhtables buffer=buffers/workbuffer

In this example, any file system that is shared with log=publicftp would use the following values:

• The default directory would be /var/nfs.

• Log files would be stored in /var/nfs/logs/nfslog*.

• File-handle-to-path database tables would be stored in /var/nfs/fh/fhtables.

• Buffer files would be stored in /var/nfs/buffers/workbuffer.
