NASA - Logging - Server Log

The Server log captures NAS messages.

Log to Console

The NAS process consoles display log messages as they are generated.

This is the default. If logging is enabled and the server is enabled for automatic startup (UNIX) or interaction with the desktop (NT), the consoles open and display the log messages.

Message Types

  • Errors

  • Errors and Warnings

  • All Message

Log to a Database

This is the most versatile logging destination. Use when you want to sort, group, and create reports of the logged messages.

These database table must be created in advance. Check the Adminstrator's Guide for the location SQL scripts for creating these tables.

Log to Operating System Log

The default operating system log file. For UNIX, this is under /var/log when automatic startup is enabled or /opt/KIVAes/log. For Windows NT, this is viewable through the Event Viewer.

This is the default. Provides a more comprehensive record of the server and application error messages. Warning and information messages are not logged to the operating system log. All messages are sorted by their timestamp.

Log to File

An ASCII text file, which you must create and specify.

Use when you want a more permanent record of the server and application messages. All messages are sorted by their timestamp.
