DDNS Server Administrator Help
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.
