Enabling Users for Individual Logging Classes

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 14-1 “Logging Configuration Screen Flow” 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 14-1 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.

Perform the following steps to reach the logging configuration screens for manual configuration:

Run NMMGR. The Open Configuration/Directry File screen is displayed
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.
Press the [NS] function key. The NS Configuration screen is displayed.
Press the [Unguided Config] function key to display the Unguided Configuration screen.
Press the [Go To Logging] function key. The first of six 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.

For more information on logging classes and subsystems see the NS 3000/iX Operations and Maintenance Reference Manual.
