Log File Rules

The Solaris_LogServiceProperties class is defined in Solaris_Core1.0.mof. The Solaris_LogServiceProperties class has properties that control the following attributes of a log file:

• Directory where the log file is written

• Name of the log file

• Date the log file was created

• Size allowed for a log file before it is renamed with a .1 file extension, saved, and archived in /var/opt/SUNWconn/wbem/log

• Number of log files you can have in the archive

• Ability to write log data to SysLog, the default logging system of the Solaris operating environment

When you want to specify any of these attributes for an application that writes data to a log file, you create a new instance of Solaris_LogServiceProperties and set the values of its associated properties.
