VxUL log files
The VxUL log file creates log file names and messages in a format that is standardized across all Veritas components. These messages use VxUL IDs (a product ID and an originator ID) that identify the component that wrote the log message.
OpsCenter components create most log messages in VxUL format.
Table: VxUL IDs used by OpsCenter components shows the originator IDs used by OpsCenter and key shared components.
Table: VxUL IDs used by OpsCenter components
VxUL originator ID | Originator name |
---|---|
103 | Veritas Private Branch Exchange service (PBX) |
132 | NetBackup Service Layer (NBSL) |
146 | OpsCenter Agent |
147 | OpsCenter Web GUI |
148 | OpsCenter Server |
423 | Application log file |
18 | OpsCenter AT |
In Windows, OpsCenter writes VxUL logs to the following directory:
INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\logs
In UNIX, OpsCenter writes VxUL logs to the following directory:
INSTALL_PATH/SYMCOpsCenterServer/logs
You can control how OpsCenter writes log files for OpsCenter Server, OpsCenter Agent, OpsCenter Web GUI, and also application log files.
The following OID values must be used for OpsCenter Server, OpsCenter Agent, OpsCenter Web GUI, and application logging.
OpsCenter Server | 148 |
OpsCenter Agent | 146 |
OpsCenter Web GUI | 147 |
Application logging | 423 |
Table: Control logging on Windows lists the commands by which you can control logging on Windows.
