Configuring logs

This feature provides access to configuring IMiS/ARChive server logging facilities. Logs can be viewed or downloaded thru >Audit logs< action in web administration module. IMiS/ARChive logs are divided in three sections of which two are configured here. For this changes to take affect, administrator must submit, activate them and restart IMiS/ARChive server. See chapter Auditing logs for explaintion on what each log consists of.

Common log parameters:

LogFile		This is the absolute filename of the common log. Administrator must watch out that the user which is running IMiS/ARChive daemon has appropriate rights on the directory where log files are stored.
MaxSize		This parameter limits the size of one log file. Size is set in bytes. 0 means no limit.
BackupCount		Backup count parameter regulates how many log files with size MaxSize are stored for log backtracking. Files are names in standard UNIX logging style (/path/filename.1, /path/filename.2, etc with higher numbers meaning older log entries). When auditing logs thru web administration module, these log files are combined in 'LIFO' style. If MaxSize is set to 0, this parameter is ignored.
LogLevel		Log level parameter regulates which log entries are logged and which are skipped. Valid numbers are 1 thru 9. 1 - EMERGENCY (system is unusable) 2 - ALERT (action must be taken immediately) 3 - CRITICAL (critical condition) 4 - ERROR (error condition) 5 - WARNING (warning condition) 6 - NOTICE (normal but significant condition) 7 - INFO (informational condition) 8 - STATISTICAL (IMiS/ARChive proprietary informations) 9 - DEBUG (debug level messages) When LogLevel is set to a particular level, all log entries with the level lower or equal to the set level are logged and other are skipped.

Administration log parameters:

LogFile		See >Common log parameters -> LogFile<.
MaxSize		See >Common log parameters -> MaxSize<.
BackupCount		See >Common log parameters -> BackupCount<.
