b. Click OK.
To change the logging level for individual modules:
a. For each module that you want to change, select one (or deselect all) of the following logging levels:
• Warning—Log error messages and warning messages
• Informational—Log error, warning, and informational messages
• Debug—Log error, warning, informational, and debug messages
Note Deselecting all check boxes for a module returns it to Error, the default logging level.
b. Review your changes. To cancel your changes, click the Cancel button. Otherwise, click the Apply
button. Clicking the Apply button starts immediately resetting the changed logging levels for the
DFM functional modules.
Viewing and Maintaining Log Files
Each DFM module writes log files to its own folder within the NMSROOT/log/dfmLogs folder.
Table 11-2 lists each DFM module, the name of the folder where the log files are stored, the related log
files, the maximum log size, and the number of backup logs that are saved.
Note NMSROOT is the folder where DFM is installed on the server. If you selected the default directory
during installation, it is C:\Program Files\CSCOpx. On Solaris it is /opt/CSCOpx.
When a log file reaches its maximum size, the module backs up the file and starts writing to a new log
file. The module appends a number to the backup file, until it reaches the maximum allowed backups. In
the following example, the oldest file is TISServer.log.2, and TISServer.log is the current log file.
02:42 PM 4,481,607 TISServer.log
10:22 AM 5,120,447 TISServer.log.1
03:17 AM 5,120,105 TISServer.log.2
By default, DFM writes error messages only to log files. You can change the logging level and thereby
affect the amount of information stored in log files. To do so, see Configuring Logging, page 11-10.
If there are two instances of the DfmServer running, each will have a log file, DFM.log and DFM1.log.
