56.4.3 Controlling Document Viewer Agent Logging
The Document Viewer Agent also creates log files. Logging is enabled by default. The default
location where log files are created varies by platform:
Because the Document Viewer Agent is currently configured using switches in its startup file, you
must activate the switches in order to change how logging is performed.
1
Use an ASCII text editor to edit the Document Viewer Agent startup file (
gwdva.dva
).
The default location of the startup file depends on the platform where the Document Viewer
Agent is running:
2
Scroll down to the log switches section.
3
Remove the comment character (;) from the
/loglevel
startup switch, then set the log level as
needed.
4
If you want to change the location where the Document Viewer Agent stores log files, remove
the comment marker from the
/log
switch, then provide a the full path to the desired location.
5
If you want to change the length of time log files are stored from its default of 7 days, remove
the comment characters from the
/logdays
switch, then specify the number of days to store log
files.
6
If you want to change the maximum size for log files, remove the comment characters from the
/logmax
switch, then specify the maximum size in kilobytes for each log file.
7
Save the
gwdva.dva
file, then exit the text editor.
8
Restart the WebAccess Agent to put the new settings into effect.
56.4.4 Viewing WebAccess Log Files
You can view the log file for the current WebAccess Agent session, or you can view archived log
files. The current WebAccess Agent log file is viewable through the NetWare WebAccess Agent
console, as described in
“NetWare: Using the WebAccess Agent Server Console” on page 925
(but it
is not available at the server console on Linux or Windows), or in the WebAccess Agent Web
console for all platforms, as described in
Section 56.1.2, “Using the WebAccess Agent Web
Console,” on page 929
. Archived WebAccess Agent log files are viewable through the Web consoles
or an ASCII text editor.
The WebAccess Application log files can be viewed through the WebAccess Application Web
console, as described in
Section 56.2.2, “Using the WebAccess Application Web Console,” on
page 935
. The other application log files can be viewed through ASCII text editors.
