DDNS Server Administrator Help

Logging Tab

Use the Logging tab of the Domain Name Server Notebook to configure name server logging. The network administrator can use the log information, which is saved in the SYSLOG file in the NAMEDB subdirectory in the directory specified by the ETC environment variable, to debug problems.

The Logging tab has these fields:

Start a new log file after x kilobytes
Specifies the maximum size in kilobytes of each log file. When the size of the current log file reaches this size, it is renamed and a new log file is created.

Maximum number of log files to keep
Specifies the maximum number of log files to keep. If you specify 0, no log file will be maintained. When the maximum number of log files is reached and the current log file reaches the maximum size, the oldest log file is deleted, the remaining log files are renamed, and a new log file is created.

Log file name
Specifies the name to assign to the log file. Old log files have the numbers 1 to n-1 appended to their names, where n is the number of log files being kept; the smaller the number, the newer the file.

Also log debug messages
When checked, specifies that the debug-level messages are to be included in the log. This provides additional detailed information that can be used for troubleshooting name server problems.

These push buttons are available on the Logging tab:

OK
Retains the configuration data in this notebook and closes the notebook.
Cancel
Cancels any actions taken in this notebook and closes the notebook.
Help
Displays information about the current notebook page.
