sepmd Utility—Manage the Policy Model Log File

The sepmd utility manages the Policy Model log file. The Policy Model log file provides a detailed audit trail of Policy Model data base activities. For example:

Wed Nov  4 10:08:02 2003 pmdb1:Processing list request for missouri.yourco.com
Wed Nov  4 10:08:02 2003 pmdb1:Processing list request for oregon.yourco.com
Wed Nov  4 10:09:14 2003 pmdb1:Empty request
Wed Nov  4 10:09:15 2003 pmdb1:Processing shutdown request
Wed Nov  4 10:09:15 2003 pmdb1:Delete filters
Wed Nov  4 10:10:04 2003 pmdb1:Opened error logs
Wed Nov  4 10:10:04 2003 pmdb1:Try to load filters
Wed Nov  4 10:10:04 2003 pmdb1:Filters file : nis_filter.dat

Running sepmdd for the first time automatically creates the Policy Model log file.

On UNIX, use the pmd_log_level PMDB configuration setting to control the PMDB logs:

• 0 - Do not log any entries.
• 1 - List only error messages.
• 2 - List error and informational messages (default value).

Note: A warning message in the log file tells you if you have exceeded file size limitations. Use configuration settings to increase the size of the log file. CA ControlMinder does not rename (rotate) the pmd_log file automatically.

This command has the following format:

sepmd {-sl|-kl|-dl|-cl} pmd

‑cl

Clears the contents of the Policy Model log file.

‑dl

Displays the Policy Model log file.

‑kl

Makes the Policy Model log file unavailable.

‑sl

Makes the Policy Model log file available.

pmd

Specifies the name of the Policy Model.
