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.
- Log comment field
- Displays comments that you want to include in the log entry. You can use event-data-substitution variables in your comments.
