Using Status Logs
In addition to the functionality provided by Sentinel, Identity Manager logs a specified number of
events on the driver set and the driver. These status logs provide a view of recent Identity Manager
activity. After the log reaches the set size, the oldest half of the log is permanently removed to clear
room for more recent events. Therefore, any events you want to track over time should be logged to
Sentinel.
The following sections contain information on the Identity Manager logs:

Section 8.1, “Setting the Log Level and Maximum Log Size,” on page 37

Section 8.2, “Viewing Status Logs,” on page 39
8.1 Setting the Log Level and Maximum Log Size
Status logs can be configured to hold between 50 and 500 events. This setting can be configured for
the driver set to be inherited by all drivers in the driver set, or configured for each driver in the driver
set. The maximum log size operates independently of the events you have selected to log, so you can
configure the events you want to log for the driver set, then specify a different log size for each
driver in the set.
This section reviews how to set the maximum log size on the driver set or an individual driver:
