The Node Management Services Trace/Log File Analyzer
(NMDUMP) is the NMS utility that you use to format files
created by the logging and tracing facilities. NMDUMP translates
the log and trace files into a format that is easier to read.
Logging and tracing are diagnostic and debugging services
provided by NMS.
Tracing |
 |
Tracing records subsystem calls and/or the sequences of module
execution. Tracing is provided at both the user level and at an
internal level. User-level tracing provides a record of data communications
subsystem intrinsic calls. Internal level tracing records internal
state transitions and the sequences of module execution within data
communications subsystems. It should only be used on the recommendation
of an HP service representative.
Logging |
|
Logging records subsystem events for all data communications
links. It records the usage of the communications network resources
and serves as a tool in resolving network problems.
Logging can be performed at three levels: network logging,
event logging, and link level logging. You choose the level of logging
for a particular system through the NMMGR configuration for that
system.
For information on using logging and tracing for NS 3000/iX
products, see the NS 3000/iX Operations and Maintenance
Reference Manual. For information on using logging and
tracing for HP-to-IBM products, see the Node Manager's
Guide for each product. For more information on NMDUMP,
see Chapter 7 “NMDUMP” of this
manual.
