Setting up logging

IBM® Cognos® Analytics log messages provide information about the status of components, including PowerPlay®, and a high-level view of important events.

Log messages can provide information about attempts to start and stop services, completion of processing requests, and indicators for fatal errors. Audit logs, which are available from a logging database, provide information about user and report activity.

For more information about Cognos Analytics logging, including a description of logging levels and setting up audit reports, see the Cognos Analytics Administration and Security Guide.
