The Tivoli Performance Analyzer is another component of ITM ( IBM Tivoli Monitoring ) and can analyze and predict the resources like CPU, Disk, Consumption and Utilization etc  based on the historical data of the Agents by looking at the Tivoli Data Warehouse.

A default logging configuration file is init.cfg  and is commonly found in <ITMHOME>/<arch>/pa/config/   folder .

Performance Analyzer writes it's logs to a file called kpacma.log in the <ITMHOME>/logs folder.

The default setting is to log only the Warning messages to this file when the PA Agent is running.

However, for debugging if there is a need to increase the logging level - then the administrator would increase the logging level from the default Warning to Debug. This will have more information and can help during debugging.

The default logging parameters are shown below:

AgentIdUniqueId__file=local.cfg
ConsolePassword__file=local.cfg
DisableVACM=true
EngineBoots__file=local.cfg
LogCount=3
LogFile=/opt/IBM/ITM/logs/kpacma.log
LogLevel=Warning                                       <===     Change it to Debug     =====
LogSize=10000000
NotificationQueueLimit=50
UdpPort=-1
 

Performance Analyzer Agent has to be stopped before editing this file, and restarted to take this into effect.

To stop the PA ,<ITMHOME>/bin/itmcmd agent stop pa

To start the PA <ITMHOME/bin/itmcmd agent start pa.
