Customize logging events with tracing configuration files
Tracing configuration files are ASCII files that customize the logging of message and trace events for C language-based servers, daemons, and other C-language programs and applications.
To customize logging of message and trace events for Java™ applications, see Java properties files.
At application startup, the application-specific tracing configuration file is read. With the
tracing configuration file content, you can control the following aspects of logging event activity:
- Whether to enable logging for specific event classes.
- Where to direct the output for each event class.
- How many log files to use for each event class.
- How large each log file can be for each event class.
