12.1 About logging configuration

You can use the Logging page to control the levels of logging messages you want the Identity Manager user application to generate and specify whether those messages are sent to Novell Audit.

The Identity Manager user application implements logging by using log4j, an open-source logging package distributed by The Apache Software Foundation. By default, event messages are logged to both of the following:

This is a rolling log file; once it reaches a certain size, it rolls over to another file (and so on).

If you’ve configured your environment to include Novell Audit, you have the option of logging event messages there as well.

For details on configuring your logging environment and Novell Audit, see Section 5.0, Setting up Logging.
