Chapter 4. NetWare Log File Adapter
The following sections contain reference information about the NetWare log file
adapter.
NetWare Log File Adapter Reference Information
The log file adapter for NetWare forwards events from a NetWare server to the
event server. The NetWare log file adapter can be registered with the startup
configuration of the NetWare server so that the log file adapter is started when the
NetWare server is started.
NetWare server events are gathered from any ASCII log file residing on the
NetWare server, such as the SYS:SYSTEM\SYS$LOG.ERR file.
The NetWare log file adapter is a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) process that
reads events generated on a NetWare server, formats them according to
specifications in the format file, and forwards them to the event server for further
processing.
The NetWare log file adapter can run silently, without its own screen, or it can run
in the debugging mode that displays screen messages for diagnostic purposes.
