Logging Configuration Screens
Logging is configured for the purpose of recording events such as errors
and console commands. You configure logging for each of the network
subsystems and 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, described in the HP 3000/iX Network
Planning and Configuration Guide, configures logging for you using
defaults. You can also configure or modify the logging subsystem using
either guided or unguided configuration.
Perform the following steps to reach the logging configuration screens
for manual configuration:
Step 1. Run NMMGR. The Open Configuration/Directry File screen is
displayed
Step 2. Enter the configuration file name (NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS) and password,
if a password is needed, and press the
[Open Config] function key. The
Main screen is displayed.
Step 3. Press the
[NS] function key. The NS Configuration screen is displayed.
Step 4. Press the
[Unguided Config] function key to display the Unguided
Configuration screen.
Step 5. Press the
[Go To Logging] function key. The first of six logging
configuration screens is displayed.
NOTE HP recommends that you use the default logging configuration values
unless your HP representative tells you otherwise. Not using the
recommended default values may result in the degration of system
performance.
For more information on logging classes and subsystems see the
NS 3000/iX Operations and Maintenance Reference Manual.
