Enabling Logging

The Log Policies node of Operations Sentinel Console allows you to enable and disable logging of messages and event reports from specific log sources. When you enable a log source, messages or event reports are added to the log for that source until you disable logging for that source.

Note: For MCP, UNIX, and Linux systems, the Monitor property for the system also controls logging. Setting the Monitor property to False for the system automatically disables logging, even if the Enabled property for the corresponding log is set to True

To enable logging for a log source

  1. Expand the Log Policies node.

  2. Select the desired log in the navigation pane.

    The log sources for that log are displayed in the display pane.

  3. In the display pane, select the desired log source(s).

  4. In the details pane, use the arrow () to change the False value to True in the Enabled property. Any changes you make appear in bold until you save them.

  5. Save your changes to enable logging for the source.

When Operations Sentinel is installed and the Operations Sentinel Server services are initiated, all log sources are enabled by default.

Note: The Enabled and Continuous Display properties together control logging of continuous display messages for an OS 2200 console log source. Logging of these messages occurs only if both of these properties are set to True
