iIS Console Trace Window
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 213
This section discusses how to use the iIS Console Trace window to select and
display messages generated by iIS engine components.
Specifying Message Filters
The syntax for specifying log message filters is shown in Figure 7-1. Generally you
specify a standard output log file, “%stdout,” as the log file name (see “Engine Log
Files” on page 210). You can specify more than one log file if you want different
information written to different files. For each file you can specify any number of
filters, each separated by a space.
Figure 7-1 Specifying iPlanet UDS Message Output Filters
In general, for each log file you can specify four levels of filter, as follows:
Message type (mandatory) You can include more than one message type
separated by spaces—the message types available are shown above.
Service type Each message type can be divided into a maximum of ten service
types, which typically map to important application services.
Group number Each service type can be divided in turn into a maximum of 63
group numbers, which typically map to a group of facilities.
Level number Each group number can be subdivided into up to 255 additional
levels.
