SSH Reference Manual

Arguments
TRUE
The EMS collector will be opened once (and re-opened after errors only)
FALSE
The EMS collector will be opened and closed for each log message written to the EMS collector (configured via
parameter LOGEMS
)
Default
The default for this parameter is TRUE.
Example
LOGEMSKEEPCOLLECTOROPENED TRUE
Considerations
• Keeping the EMS collector open instead of opening and closing it for every log message will reduce overhead.
• Closing the collector for every log message is only required if the collector's supported maximum number of
event message issuers is reached.
LOGFILE
Use this parameter to define whether SSH2 log messages are written, and, if so, to which file.
Parameter Syntax
LOGFILE * | file
Arguments
*
Means that no log messages are written to a file.
filenameprefix
Specifies the prefix of the log file set. The actual audit file names are constructed based on the prefix assigned
and by a number generated based on the settings of the LOGFILERETENTION
parameter.
Default
By default, no log messages are written to a file ("*").
Considerations
• The LOGLEVELFILE
parameter controls what messages are produced by SSH2.
• The LOGFORMATFILE parameter controls the log message format.

Use this parameter to control how many log files SSH2 keeps when log file rollover occurs.
