Checking the Information Log

The information log contains information about the Novell IP Gateway only. This log does not record information about other Novell BorderManager 3.7 services.

To display the Information Log window, complete the following steps:

  1. In NetWare Administrator, click the Server object representing the Novell BorderManager 3.7 server.

    2.

  2. Select Novell BorderManager 3.7 from the Tools menu.

    3.

  3. From the Novell BorderManager 3.7 menu, select View Information Log.

    The Information and System Logs window displays, with two tabs: the Information Log tab and the SYS$LOG.ERR tab.

    From the Information Log tab, you can view configuration information such as the following:

    • When the Novell IP Gateway module was loaded or unloaded on the server
      •
    • Logging level
      •
    • Whether audit logging is turned on or off
      •
    • Which gateway service is enabled---IPX/IP gateway, IP/IP gateway, or SOCKS gateway
      •
    • The Novell IP Gateway control port and data port addresses
      •
    • The Novell IP Gateway's public or private address
      •
    • Which clients have been authenticated by the Novell IP Gateway
      •

    NOTE:  Each message in the information log is also stamped with the date and time it was recorded in the log file.

    From the SYS$LOG.ERR tab, you can view the system error messages recorded from the server console.

    NOTE:  If you click the SYS$LOG.ERR tab, you might be warned that the log file is too large. In this case, only the last 32 KB of data in the log file is displayed.
