Logging Section

This section contains links to log files, allows you to turn logging on or off, and to change the log server parameters

Summary

Clicking the Summary link displays a table that contains links to the current and previous revisions of the Netlet, NetMail, Authentication, and Master Log files, as shown in Figure 2-18. The previous revisions are the most recently archived versions.

You turn logging on or off on this page. If you change the status of the logging, you must click Enter so that this change will save your changes. You must stop and restart the web server for the changes to take effect. See the procedure "To Stop and Restart the Web Server on the i-Planet Server" in Chapter 3, Other Administrative Tasks.

The log files are displayed for viewing only when you click the link to them. The log files are in /var/opt/SUNWstnr/logs. The log files are flat files that you can manipulate with the usual UNIX tools.

Parameters

Clicking the Parameters link displays the Log Server Parameters page, shown in Figure 2-20. You can change the location of the log files, the maximum size of the log files, and the number of the history files from this page. The location of the log file is relative to the root of the server (host). The size of the log file is in bytes.

If you change any of the parameters on this page, before you leave the page, you must click Enter to save your changes. After you have made all the changes in your editing session, you must stop and restart the web server for the changes to take effect. See the procedure "To Stop and Restart the Web Server on the i-Planet Server" in Chapter 3, Other Administrative Tasks.
