Interpreting the Trace File

The trace information is written to the following trace logfile:

❏ Management server trace file:

/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv/trace

❏ HP-UX 10.x and 11.x managed node trace file (refer to Chapter 3 of

the HP OpenView IT/Operations Administrator’s Reference for file
locations on other supported platforms):

/var/opt/OV/tmp/OpC/trace

The general format of the trace information is the following:

<mm/dd/yy> <hh:mm:ss> <process_name>(pid)[<area>]: <detailed
information
>

mm/dd/yy

date

hh:mm:ss

time

process_name

process name

pid

process ID

area

functional area as specified in the trace statement

detailed
information

detailed information about the process

NOTE

New trace information is appended to existing trace logfiles. It is
therefore recommended to delete the file to prevent it from becoming too
large.
