Configuring Logging
This chapter includes step-by-step instructions to help you perform the
following tasks:
• Access the logging configuration screens.
• Modify the logging configuration.
• Enable users for individual logging classes.
• Activate logging.
Logging is configured for the purpose of recording events such as errors
and console commands. You configure logging for each of the
subsystems of NS 3000/iX and for NS 3000/iX links. Each subsystem
includes different classes of events (such as internal errors). You can
record logging to a disk file for later analysis, to the system console so
that the system operator receives the messages, or both.
You can also display logging events at individual users’ list devices.
This may be valuable to allow the network manager to monitor NS
console activity from an alternate terminal. If you configure a logging
class so that logging is recorded to a user.account, the user will receive
logged messages any time there is an active session for that
user.account. (Take care if you enable users for logging; doing so can
place a strain on system resources.)
The guided configuration process configures logging for you using
defaults. You can also configure or modify the logging subsystem using
either guided or unguided configuration.
