5.5 Setting Up Logging

By default, logging for OpenWBEM is set up as follows.

You can change any of the default settings. For more information, see Changing the Default Logging Configuration.

5.5.1 Linux

On Linux, the following settings are default:

  • log.main.components = *

  • log.main.level = ERROR

  • log.main.type = syslog

This means that OWCIMOMD logging is set up to go to the /var/log/messages file or to other files depending on the configuration of syslogd. It logs all errors for all components (OWCIMOMD).

5.5.2 NetWare

On NetWare, the following settings are default:

  • log.main.components = *

  • log.main.level = ERROR

  • log.main.location = /system/cimom/var/owcimomd.log

  • log.main.max_backup_index = 1

  • log.main.max_file_size = 1000

  • log.main.type = file

This means that OWCIMOMD logging is set up to go to the sys:\system\cimom\var\owmgmt_openwebem_lx_nwd.log file. The default file size is 1000 KB with one backup file. It logs all errors for all components (OWCIMOMD).
