Using debug logging in the TrueSight Infrastructure Management operator console

PATROL for Oracle Enterprise Database includes a debug logging agent action that you can enable or disable at the global or environment levels.

In the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management operator console, the debug logging agent action works as follows depending on if it is enabled at the Oracle database or Oracle environment level.

At the global level: The logging confirms that all of the PATROL for Oracle Enterprise Database environments are correctly configured.
At the environment level: The logging enables debugging operations for all Oracle instances configured in this environment.

When you use an agent action, it is issued from your local console, but executed on the computer where the PATROL Agent is installed. For more information about agent actions, see Executing agent actions on a monitor in the operator console .

The information about using this agent action includes the following:
