9.4.2.3 Using Environment Variables

Serviceability message routing can also be speciﬁed by the contents of certain

environment variables. If you use environment variables, the routings you specify will

override any conﬂicting routings speciﬁed by a routing ﬁle.

The routings are speciﬁed (on the basis of severity level) by putting the desired routing

instructions in the following environment variables:

• SVC_FATAL

• SVC_ERROR

• SVC_WARNING

• SVC_NOTICE

• SVC_NOTICE_VERBOSE

• SVC_BRIEF

Each variable should contain a single string in the following format:

severity:output_form:destination[: application-deﬁned][; . . . ]

You can supply multiple routings by specifying additional output_form:destination pairs

as a semicolon-separated list.
