Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server 5 2004Q2

> Server Configuration Log Output
> Directory Proxy Server can maintain extensive log records of various events and system errors so that you can monitor and debug the system. All log records can be maintained in text files and can be stored in your local file system for quick and easy retrieval.

> This view allows you to how and where Directory Proxy Server log and audit files are stored.

> Log files
> Write log entries to $(DPS_ROOT)/logs/fwd.log. This is the default setting in which Directory Proxy Server will write its log entries to the file $(DPS_ROOT)/logs/fwd.log where $(DPS_ROOT) is the directory under the server root where Directory Proxy Server is installed, typically /usr/sun/servers/dps-<hostname> or \Program\Files\sun\Servers\dps-<hostname>.

> Write log entries to. Specify an alternative file to which Directory Proxy Server will direct its log entries. The file separator must follow UNIX conventions regardless of platform.

> Write logs to syslog daemon with facility. (UNIX only) Choose a syslog facility code that Directory Proxy Server will use to log entries. This setting should only be chosen if this log property is to be used by Directory Proxy Server server installed on a UNIX machine. Specifying this option for Directory Proxy Server installed on a Windows NT system will make it inoperable. It is recommended that if you would like to specify values for this attribute, you should create separate log properties for Windows NT and UNIX.

> Audit files
> In addition to logging system and error messages, Directory Proxy Server can also maintain audit trails for all events and connection statistics—for example, the DN of a client that just completed a bind/unbind with an LDAP directory can be logged.

> By default, Directory Proxy Server is not configured to log audit messages. You can enable this feature at any time.

> Audit File. Displays options governing where Directory Proxy Server will write its audit log entries. For this feature to work, audit logging must be enabled by selecting the "Client auditing information" option in the Statistics tab.

> Write audit entries with other log entries. This is the default setting in which Directory Proxy Server will write its audit log entries to the same output specified in the log file settings above.

> Write log entries to. Specify an alternative file to which Directory Proxy Server will direct its audit log entries. The file separator should follow UNIX conventions regardless of platform.

> Write audits to syslog daemon with facility. (UNIX only) Choose a syslog facility code that Directory Proxy Server will use to log audit entries. This setting should only be chosen if this log property is to be used by Directory Proxy Server servers hosted on a UNIX machine. Specifying this option causes a Windows NT based Directory Proxy Server to become inoperable. It is recommended that if you would like to specify values for this attribute, you should create separate Log Property objects for Windows NT and UNIX.
