3.6 Logging configuration

If required, all license transactions can be logged via the standard syslog daemon services. Information is logged as a LOG_USER facility at the LOG_USER or LOG_WARNING level. System administrators can tailor the types and amount of information logged with the -loglevel option. Log level switches control logged output as follows:

 

 

Bit

Switch

 

1

WARNING

All warning and error messages -- logged at system LOG_WARN level

2

INFO

Information messages, mainly during startup

3

ADMIN

Changes, via the administration tool hqn_lsa

4

LICENSE

All license transactions. Control output via the license bits 5-10 (listed below)

5

PRODUCT

Output the full product name on each transaction.

6

HOSTNAME

Output the name of the product host

7

HOSTADDR

Output the Internet address of the product host

8

USERNAME

Output the name of the user of the product

9

10

EXTERR

11

DOMAIN

Log settings are turned off by appending a ` - ' to the switch name. For example,

hqn_lsa -lg exterr-

turns off extra error logging. In addition some standard settings are provided, as listed below. Each standard setting has a configuration of log settings automatically switched on.

hqn_lsd starts up with the default standard setting, plus extra error logging turned on. The -f option on hqn_lsd 's command line may be used to turn on domain logging during startup.
