                            '-systemobservationlog-'

Parameters

The command has the following parameters:

LOGNAME=name

The type of data to be recorded might be:

analyzerlog: Workload analysis results
errorlog: Unexpected errors that are detected during processing
notificationlog: Communications within the Provisioning Manager
systemobservationlog: Monitored metrics from the observed systems

The log names are not case-sensitive.

DEST=

The destination of the log. The following destinations are supported:

*: (Default) specifies that the report be written to the standard log file in the log path specified during setup. This option can be used if logging is already active for the specified log and data is available in the log.
file: Specifies a file where the information is to be stored. If the name includes lowercase characters, this parameter must be enclosed in single quotation marks ('). The file must be in the hierarchical file system. You can specify either an absolute path or a relative path to the file. If this is not absolute the path is relative to the home directory of the user who is running the Provisioning Manager. You must ensure that there is sufficient space in the selected location. The Provisioning Manager user must be authorized to write to this location. This option can always be used and does not require that log writing be activated for the specified log.

Example

To write the notification log to file nl.log, issue the following command:

MODIFY CPOSERV,APPL=WRITE LOG LOGNAME=NotificationLog DEST='nl.log'

or:

F CPOSERV,APPL=W L LOGNAME=NotificationLog DEST='nl.log'

The response on the console might be:

CPO1040I Log NotificationLog successfully written to file nl.log
