42.3.1 Configuring MTA Log Settings and Switches
The following aspects of logging are configurable:
Log File Path (
/log
)
Disk Logging (
/logdiskoff
)
Logging Level (
/loglevel
)
Maximum Log File Age (
/logdays
)

)
You can configure the log settings in the following ways:
Using ConsoleOne to establish defaults (see
Section 41.1.8, “Adjusting the MTA Logging
Level and Other Log Settings,” on page 627
)
Using startup switches to override ConsoleOne settings (see
Section 44, “Using MTA Startup
Switches,” on page 683
)
Using the MTA server console to override log MTA settings for the current session (see
Section , “Adjusting MTA Log Settings,” on page 656
Using the MTA Web console to override other MTA settings for the current MTA session (see
Section 42.2.4, “Controlling the MTA from the MTA Web Console,” on page 664
)
42.3.2 Viewing MTA Log Files
You can view the contents of the MTA log file from the MTA server console and Web console. See
the following tasks:
“Browsing the Current MTA Log File” on page 655
“Viewing a Selected MTA Log File” on page 656
“Cycling the MTA Log File” on page 656
“Viewing and Searching MTA Log Files” on page 661
42.3.3 Interpreting MTA Log File Information
On startup, the MTA records the MTA settings currently in effect. Thereafter, it logs events that take
place, including errors. To look up error messages that appear in MTA log files, see “

Because the MTA consists of multiple threads, you might find it useful to retrieve the log file into an
editor and sort it on the thread ID that follows the date and time information. Sorting will group all
messages together for the same MTA thread. At the MTA Web console, you can search through
multiple log files. See
“Viewing and Searching MTA Log Files” on page 661
. You can also use the
search capability of the MTA Web console to gather information about a specific MTA thread. See
“Viewing and Searching MTA Log Files” on page 661
.
42.4 Using GroupWise Monitor
GroupWise Monitor is a monitoring and management tool that allows you to monitor GroupWise
agents and gateways from any location where you are connected to the Internet and have access to a
