“Modifying Log Settings through the Windows WebAccess Agent Server Console” on
page 940

“Modifying Log Settings through the Linux WebAccess Agent Server Console” on page 940

Modifying Log Settings through the NetWare Agent Server Console

You can use the NetWare WebAccess Agent server console to modify the following log settings:

Changes you make to log settings at the console apply only to the current session. When you restart
the WebAccess Agent, the log settings are reset to the settings specified in ConsoleOne or the startup
switches. See

“Modifying WebAccess Agent Log Settings in ConsoleOne” on page 939

and

“Modifying WebAccess Agent Log Settings through Startup Switches” on page 940

.

To modify the log settings:

1

At the NetWare WebAccess Agent’s server console, press F10, select

Logging Options

, then set

the log settings as needed:

2

Press Esc to save the information.

Modifying Log Settings through the Windows WebAccess Agent Server Console

You can use the Windows WebAccess Agent’s console to modify the logging level. All other log
settings must be modified through ConsoleOne or startup switches. See

“Modifying WebAccess

Agent Log Settings in ConsoleOne” on page 939

and

“Modifying WebAccess Agent Log Settings

through Startup Switches” on page 940

.

Changes you make to the log level at the console apply only to the current session. When you restart
the WebAccess Agent, the log level is reset to the level specified in ConsoleOne or the startup
switches.

To modify the logging level:

1

In the NetWare WebAccess Agent’s console (the DOS window), press F2 to cycle the log level
between Normal, Verbose, and Diagnostic. Each level is described below:

Modifying Log Settings through the Linux WebAccess Agent Server Console

On Linux, the WebAccess Agent server console does not include functionality to change log
settings. These settings must be modified through ConsoleOne, as described in

“Modifying

WebAccess Agent Log Settings in ConsoleOne” on page 939

or in the startup file, as described in

“Modifying WebAccess Agent Log Settings through Startup Switches” on page 940
