7.3 Collecting logs
When a problem occurs, system administrators use logs to investigate its cause. If the function for defining extended MIB objects is being used, the system administrator outputs a trace log of the commands executed while acquiring the MIB values to isolate the problem location.
By default, the master agent and subagents normally output logs as follows:
-
Log type: Warning and error logs
-
Log output destination: /var/adm/snmpd.logn (n: value indicating the log file count (1 to 10))
-
Log file size: 10 megabytes
The following subsections explain how to change the types of logs that are acquired, the output destination for the logs, and the number and size of the log files.
