Changing the Provider Log Level
The management server obtains information from its discovered elements through providers, which
communicate with the hardware interface. These providers provide by default superficial logging
to the %JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\logs\appiq.log file. You can change the level of
logging provided by selecting the new level of logging from the Provider Log Setting combo box
on the Product Health page (Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health in HP
Systems Insight Manager), selecting Log Files and then clicking Apply. Only one logging level
option can be selected.
Use the table below as a guideline for the different options. Several of the options mention
providers. A provider is software that gathers information from an element, such as a switch.
