Setting the component logging properties

Set the location of the log file for the probe components.

The probe can create a log file that contains details of the behavior of the probe's components. This feature is primarily used when problem solving and is defined in $NCHOME/omnibus/probes/java/iec_cim_ami_dsl_log.properties. If you need to use the feature, enable the destination of this log file that is appropriate for the operating system that the probe runs on.

  1. Navigate to $NCHOME/omnibus/probes/java and edit the file iec_cim_ami_dsl_log.properties.
  2. Locate the following lines in the file:
    # Uncomment to enable for Windows
#log4j.appender.LFA.File=C:/IBM/Tivoli/Netcool/omnibus/log/iec_cim_ami_dsl.log
# Uncomment to enable for Unix
#log4j.appender.LFA.File=$OMNIHOME/log/iec_cim_ami_dsl.log
  3. Remove the comment marker from the beginning of the line that is appropriate for the operating system that the probe runs on.
  4. Save the file and exit from the text editor.
