Client daemon logging

You can change the file destination for log messages generated by the Client daemon.

Error, warning, and informational messages are output to the same log file by default, the log file is specified by the logfile parameter, see Error and warning log file. The destination of informational messages can be changed to be a separate file, see Information log file for more information.

The language of the log messages can be changed by running the ctgmsgs command, see Changing the system locale for more information. The log files can be viewed using any standard text editor. The following steps show how to change the settings.

1. Launch the Configuration Tool and navigate to the Logging tab of the Client daemon node.
2. Complete the fields on the tab as appropriate. You can choose to:
   • Log terminal installations and deletions.
   • Change the name of the Error and warning log file from the default cicscli.log.
   • Specify a different log for information messages.
3. Save the configuration file.
