18.2 Using the eMBox Logger
The eMBox Logger is an infrastructure module that logs all the events for all the eDirectory
Management Tools (eMTools) such as DSBackup, DSMerge, and DSRepair. In this release, only
one log file is provided in which all eMTools log their operations.
The eMBox Logger is different than the client logging service, which is provided through the log
files that you specify when you run the eMBox client (for example, when you specify
-l
mylogfile.txt
in an eMBox client command or when you enter
mylogfile.txt
as a log
file name in iManager). The eMBox Logger currently records all server messages for tasks that are
performed by the eMBox, showing greater detail. By contrast, the client logging service records
client messages and messages sent to the client, which give a general report of progress.
Logging is asynchronous, and all operations are logged by default.
This release of the eMBox Logger provides the following features:
• The ability to change the log file name and location.
By default, log files are created in the embox\log directory located in the same directory that
eDirectory was installed in.
• The ability to change the maximum file size, after which the log file will reset.
The maximum file size is 8 MB.
• The ability to change the logging mode.
You can choose to append all new messages to the log file or to overwrite an existing log file.
The Append option is set by default.
• The ability to start and stop the logging.
By default, the logger is in Start mode when the eMBox starts up. While in Stop mode, no
messages are logged.
• The ability to reset the log file contents.
• The ability to read the log file from a client machine.
