The following table provides the necessary parameters:
Table 64-3 Active Log Parameters
Parameter Description
facility <facility> Type the facility message level. A facility is a protocol or task
that is in use by the system. The local facility defines which
logging options shall be applied for processes running locally.
The options are:
•
local0
•
local1
•
local2
•
local3
•
local4
•
local5
•
local6
•
local7
The default is local7.
level <report_level> Type the log severity level, including:
•
critical - Logs only those events indicating a serious error
has occurred that is causing the system or a system
component to cease functioning. This is the highest level
severity.
•
error - Logs events that indicate an error has occurred that
is causing the system or a system component to operate in
a degraded date. This level also logs events with a higher
severity level.
•
warning - Logs events that may indicate a potential
problem. This level also logs events with a higher severity
level.
•
unusual - Logs events that are very unusual and may need
to be investigated. This level also logs events with a higher
severity level.
•
info - Logs informational events and events with a higher
severity level.
•
debug - Logs all events regardless of the severity.
We recommend that a level of error or critical can be
configured to maximize the value of the logged information
while minimizing the quantity of logs generated.
critical-info The critical-info parameter identifies and displays events with a
category attribute of critical information. Examples of these
types of events can be seen at bootup when system processes
or tasks are being initiated.
no-critical-info The no-critical-info parameter specifies that events with a
category attribute of critical information are not displayed.
