Tracing and Logging
HP SNMP/XL uses the NMS utility NMDUMP for tracing and logging. HP
SNMP/XL also follows the general format of NetXport, NetIPC, and NS
services in tracing and logging. This includes initiation and formatting
options.
Tracing
A trace initiation is able to trace the subsystem startup and allows you
to specify the trace file name and file size. There is a single command
for turning on/off tracing which is SNMPCONTROL TRACE.
The following filters are available for formatting the trace file:
* Time range selection.
* Subsystem ID.
* Data display options (octal, hex decimal, ASCII).
* Exception reporting.
System Logging
The logging destination for messages with various logging classes is
provided through NMMGR guided configuration. The general message format
looks like:
Message text (SNMPFATAL nnnn)
(SNMPINFO nnnn)
(SNMPWARN nnnn)
(SNMP nnnn)
where nnnn is the message number.
Message Content.
The following information is included in the message record to allow for
formatting options based on these criteria:
* Subsystem ID.
* Logging class.
* System time stamp.
* Log all SNMPCONTROL commands issued.
Logging Class.
The general classification of the logging classes consists of the
following classes:
* CLAS0001 Fatal error.
* CLAS0002 Serious error.
* CLAS0003 Warning.
* CLAS0004 Informational message.
Log Formatting Options.
Formatting of the log files is by the following criteria:
* Time range.
* Subsystem ID.
* Data display option (octal, hex decimal, ASCII).
