Chapter 12  Logging Configuration Screens  

The screens in this chapter are those you would see when configuring
logging.  The Logging Configuration branch of NMMGR begins with a screen
called the Netxport Log Configuration screen.  Figure 12-1 shows the
screen flow for configuring the logging screens.  Screens unique to
logging are indicated by bold boxed screens.  [FUNCTION] denotes the
function key used at a screen to invoke the next screen on the screen
flow.


          Figure 12-1.  Logging Configuration Screen Flow 

Logging is configured for the purpose of recording events such as errors
and console commands.  You configure logging for each of the network
subsystems and links.  Each subsystem includes different classes of
events (such as internal errors).You can record logging to a disk file
for later analysis, to the system console so that the system operator
receives the messages, or both.

You can also display logging events at individual users' list devices.
This may be valuable to allow the network manager to monitor NS console
activity from an alternate terminal.  If you configure a logging class so
that logging is recorded to a user.account, the user will receive logged
messages any time there is an active session for that user.account.
(Take care if you enable users for logging; doing so can place a strain
on system resources.)

The guided configuration process, described in the HP 3000/iX Network 
Planning and Configuration Guide, configures logging for you using
defaults.  You can also configure or modify the logging subsystem using
either guided or unguided configuration.

Follow the steps below to reach the logging configuration screens for
manual configuration:

   1.  Run NMMGR. The Open Configuration/Directry File screen is
       displayed.

   2.  Enter the configuration file name (NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS) and password,
       if a password is needed, and press the [Open Config] function key.
       The Main screen is displayed.

   3.  Press the [NS] function key.  The NS Configuration screen is
       displayed.

   4.  Press the [Unguided Config] function key to display the Unguided
       Configuration screen.

   5.  Press the [Go To Logging] function key.  The first of five logging
       configuration screens is displayed.


NOTE  HP recommends that you use the default logging configuration values
      unless your HP representative tells you otherwise.  Not using the
      recommended default values may result in the degration of system
      performance.
