Message log (msg.log)

The message log contains IBM Verify Identity Governance messages. The product generates messages during processing. Messages are presented when you log on to the Verify Identity Governance Server and perform operations. IVIG messages are identified by the CTGIM prefix.

The message log is turned on by default. You can configure:
  • When message collection starts and stops.
  • The level of data that is collected
  • The log file size.

After the message log file reaches its capacity, data is overwritten. The newest data replaces the oldest log data. To maintain a longer history of messages, you can create multiple message log files. When the msg.log file is full, data is moved to another file.

For information about message descriptions and configuring the message log, see the Messages Guide.
