Obtaining syslog debug information for the IKE daemon
The IkeSyslogLevel parameter in the IKE configuration file controls the level of IKE internal debug information that is sent to syslog. When configuring with the IBM® Configuration Assistant for z/OS® Communications Server, use the IKE Daemon Settings panel to configure the level of IKE internal debug information that is sent to syslog.
The IKE syslog level value should be set above 1 only when diagnosing a problem; levels above 1 impact IKE performance. Level 8 and Level 16 have the greatest performance impact because they affect processing on each UDP datagram IKE sends and receives.
IKE Syslog level values can be combined. See z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference or the IBM Configuration Assistant for z/OS Communications Server's online help for more information.
When IKED logs messages through syslogd, the messages are
immediately preceded by the parenthesized thread identifier of the
IKED thread from which they were issued. For example, the following
message was logged by thread 1:Jul 28 15:10:47 mvs046 IKE: (00000001) EZD1061I IKE connecting to PAGENT
