Logging
Overview of logging
Logging enables you to see the following information in HP APM:
•
Actions taken
•
Events
•
Time when the action was taken or event occurred
HP APM has the following types of logs:
•
Event logs, where HP APM records events
•
Fault logs, where HP APM records internal errors. These internal errors create alerts in which the red LED
illuminates. For a list of alert messages, see "Alert messages (on page
)."
You can issue commands for both internal and external logging.
Use an external syslog server for:
•
Redundant copy of events and logs
•
Not limiting the events list to only the last 500 events
To ensure the correct time stamping in your logs, use the SET TIME command. For more information, see
)."
Internal logging
Internal logging tracks up to 100KB on the event log, up to 16KB on the fault log, and is persistent through
reboot.
