SNMP Logging

Edit online

You can use the steps and additional information provided to log in into SNMP.

By default, the idssnmp application logs its data to the file /var/idsldap/V11.0.1/idssnmp.log on the UNIX™ platform and <SDSinstall_directory>\var\idssnmp.log on the Windows™ platform.

In addition to the tool's main log file, idssnmp.log, there are two additional log files that IBM® Verify Directory Integrator produces:
  • ibmdi.log
  • idssnmpinit.log
These files are produced because the IBM Verify Directory Integrator application writes logs to a static location. After the idssnmp tool is initialized, most of the log statements are written to idssnmp.log.The ibmdi.log file and idssnmpinit.log file are written to the following directories:
  • <SDSinstall_directory>/idstools/snmp/logs (UNIX)
  • <SDSinstall_directory>\idstools\snmp\logs (Windows)
If these directories are not created, then the logs are placed in the current working directory. The ibmdi.log and idssnmpinit.log are overwritten each time the idssnmp tool is run so the filesize can remain small.
The following command line option: 
–D DEBUG
can be specified to debug idssnmp.The log can then have more detailed information of the agent's execution.
