Logger event usage

Use this page to view how you can use logger events to determine the log extents that are no longer required for queue manager restart, or media recovery.

You can archive superfluous log extents to a medium such as tape for disaster recovery before removing them from the active log directory. Regular removal of superfluous log extents keeps disk space usage to a minimum.

If the LOGGEREV queue manager attribute is enabled, but a logger event message cannot be put on the logger event queue, for example because the event queue has not been defined, the action that caused the event continues regardless.
