SSHCLIENT supports three levels of diagnostic logging: All, Basic, and None.
-
The Basic log level records information related to the SSH Client Protocol associated with the execution of an SSH command.
-
The All log level records the same information recorded in the Basic log level in addition to the information related to the specifics of the SSH command.
-
The None log level is the default log level that records only alert messages.
The information is recorded in the SUMLOG using Major Type 19 (Diagnostic entry) and Minor Type 41 (Secure Shell).
An administrator can modify the diagnostic log level at any time by running the SSHCLIENT Admin Utility as follows:
Example
R *SYSTEM/SSHCLIENT/ADMIN("LOG ALL")
#RUNNING 1206
#ET=0.0 PT=0.0 IO=0.0 R *SYSTEM/SSHCLIENT/ADMIN("LOG BASIC")
#RUNNING 1205
#ET=0.1 PT=0.0 IO=0.0 R *SYSTEM/SSHCLIENT/ADMIN("LOG NONE")
#RUNNING 1205
#ET=0.1 PT=0.0 IO=0.0
An administrator can also modify the diagnostic LOG_LEVEL attribute in the SSHCLIENT configuration file to specify the amount of information to capture in the SUMLOG.
