Logs information about the triggering event
to a specified text file.
Fields
- Log file name
- Specifies the name of the log file. The log is formatted as a plain text
file and located on the management server. You can specify the filename and file extension
of the log file, as well as its maximum file size. If the log file reaches
its specified maximum size, it is renamed to filename.1, where filename is
the file name that you specified. Then, a new filename.extension file
is created, where extension is the file extension that you specified
for the log file. The log file is located on the management
server in the install_root\log
directory, where install_root is the
root directory of your IBM® Systems
Director installation.
Note that this path uses the backslash (\) to delimit the directory; depending
on the system that you are using, you might be required to enter the path
using the forward slash (/).
- Maximum log size
- Specifies the maximum size of the log file, in kilobytes.
