This chapter describes the
log, trace, and other diagnostic utilities that capture and record
details about how the program operates. The records help locate the
product or component from which an error originates. Trace information
can isolate the entry and exit points of interfaces in a specific
product.
Logs
IBM Verify Identity Governance logs system events during specific transactions. Log files contain levels of information about the product processes. Log files also include information about other software that is used to complete a task. Use the information in log files to facilitate isolating and debugging system problems.
Traces
Trace data provides in-depth processing information to help you focus on a particular area that you suspect is causing a problem. Trace data is more complex and detailed than message data.
Diagnostic utilities
This section describes tools that assist with diagnosing problems.
Performance and availability
The Performance Tuning Guide provides information about setting the parameters used to tune IBM Verify Identity Governance , IBM Security Directory Server , and database servers. These parameters can improve the performance of your environment.
