Beginning and ending event logging

The BEGIN EVENTLOGGING and END EVENTLOGGING commands can be used to log events when event logging is not automatically started during server startup.

About this task

At server startup, event logging begins automatically to the server console and activity log and for any receivers that are started based on entries in the server options file. A receiver for which event logging has begun is an active receiver.

To begin logging events to receivers for which event logging is not started automatically, issue the BEGIN EVENTLOGGING command. You can also use this command after you have disabled event logging to one or more receivers. To end event logging for an active receiver issue the END EVENTLOGGING command.

For example,
  • To begin logging events to the event server, enter:
    begin eventlogging eventserver
  • To end logging events to the event server, enter:
    end eventlogging eventserver
