LSB_CMD_LOG_MASK

Syntax

LSB_CMD_LOG_MASK=log_level

Description

Specifies the logging level of error messages from LSF batch commands.

To specify the logging level of error messages for LSF commands, use LSF_CMD_LOG_MASK. To specify the logging level of error messages for LSF daemons, use LSF_LOG_MASK.

LSB_CMD_LOG_MASK sets the log level and is used in combination with LSB_DEBUG_CMD, which sets the log class for LSF batch commands. For example:
LSB_CMD_LOG_MASK=LOG_DEBUG LSB_DEBUG_CMD="LC_TRACE LC_EXEC"

LSF commands log error messages in different levels so that you can choose to log all messages, or only log messages that are deemed critical. The level specified by LSB_CMD_LOG_MASK determines which messages are recorded and which are discarded. All messages logged at the specified level or higher are recorded, while lower level messages are discarded.

For debugging purposes, the level LOG_DEBUG contains the fewest number of debugging messages and is used for basic debugging. The level LOG_DEBUG3 records all debugging messages, and can cause log files to grow very large; it is not often used. Most debugging is done at the level LOG_DEBUG2.

The commands log to the syslog facility unless LSB_CMD_LOGDIR is set.

Valid values

The log levels from highest to lowest are:

  • LOG_EMERG

  • LOG_ALERT

  • LOG_CRIT

  • LOG_ERR

  • LOG_WARNING

  • LOG_NOTICE

  • LOG_INFO

  • LOG_DEBUG

  • LOG_DEBUG1

  • LOG_DEBUG2

  • LOG_DEBUG3

Default

LOG_WARNING
