Output File |
Defines the path to the log file relative to the installation directory:
|
Enable List |
A comma separated sequence of message filter names which are to be output to the log file. The special character * means all possible values, an empty string disables the list. |
Disable List |
A comma separated sequence of message filter names which are to be filtered from going to the log file. The special character * means all possible values. By default the disable list is applied AFTER the enable list and so has a higher precedence. |
List to Load First |

Displayed Types |
A comma separated list of debug message types which are to be output to the log file. The special character * means all possible values. |
Maximum Agent Log Size (Byte) |
The maximum size of the log file in bytes. When the output file size reaches this limit, it is deleted and a new file of the same name created to start again. If the output file is stdout this setting has no effect. If set to 0 or not specified at all, there is no limit check on the size of the file. |
Maximum Agent Log File Count |
Maximum number of log file backups to keep. As a log file hits its maximum size it is copied to a backup file with an incrementing integer index. When the number of backups hits this limit, backup number 1 is removed and all the others are renumbered down. |
Agent Log Clean Start |
Defines if the specified log file is to be backed up at each start of the agent. If enabled the log file specified in Output File is backed up at agent start time. |
Maximum Audit Log File Size (Bytes) |
Controls the maximum size of the audit log file in bytes. When the output file size reaches this limit, it is deleted and a new file of the same name created to start again. If the output file is stdout this setting has no effect. If set to 0 or not specified the limit is the value of the Maximum Agent Log Size entry. |
Maximum Audit Log File Count |
Maximum number of audit log file backups to keep. As a log file hits its maximum size it is copied to a backup file with an incrementing integer index. When the number of backups hits this limit, backup number 1 is removed and all the others are renumbered down. |
Audit Log Clean Start |
Defines if the specified audit log file is to be backed up at each start of the agent. |
Column Separator |
The separator character between the columns in the output. If no value is supplied, the output is padded out for readability. If a value is supplied, no text padding is done. |
Time Format |
A formatting string used to format the timestamp part of the logged output. This field may however contain any string of characters the administrator deems appropriate and the variables may be ordered in any desired way. The variables this entry may contain are the following: %y for the year part of the timestamp with 4 digits, for example, 2004, %m for the month as its number, for example, 01 for January and 12 for December, %d for the day of the month, %H for the hour indication, %M for the minutes of the hour and %S for the seconds of the minute. |
