Multiple Remote Console Logs

By default, servers and administrative clients are set up to view the Console log of only one machine at a time. This configuration is suitable for sites that have one server running Event Management and one active Console log. On Windows, the variable CA_OPERA_NODE (Console Daemon Node) on the Configuration Settings, Event Management page identifies this computer.

You can, however, view multiple remote console logs from one machine by doing one of the following:

• Adding the node name to the server map UNISHARE$.
• Adding the node name to the CONSOLE.TAB. This file does not exist automatically; you must create it. A sample is provided in %CAILOCL0000%\CONSAMPL.TAB (where CAILOCL0000 is a Unicenter environmental variable whose value you can view by running the "cautenv CAILOCL0000" command).

For more information about multiple log file support, see the topic Event Management Console Table (console.tab) File in the online CA Reference.
