logmgr

The [logmgr] section contains the parameters used by the PMDB logging facility.

audit.audit_events.maxlimit

Specifies the maximum number of Audit events that are retrieved from the specified endpoint.

Default: 1000

Note: A JBoss service/daemon restart is required to change the default value. If more that 1000 events are available, a warning message is displayed.

Important! A value greater than 10000 can cause memory and performance problems.

audit_back

Specifies the name of the PMDB audit backup file.

Default: pmd_audit.bak

audit_log

Specifies the name of the PMDB audit log file.

Default: pmd_audit

audit_group

Specifies the group that can read the PMDB audit files. If no group is specified, only root can read the audit files. CA ControlMinder does not verify the value of this token, so if you enter an invalid group name, CA ControlMinder does not assign any group permissions to the audit log files.

To change the group ownership of an existing audit log file, do the following:

1. Use the selang command chgrp to set the group ownership of the files.
2. Change the UNIX permissions by entering:

   	chmod 640 /opt/CA/AccessControl/log/seos.audit
   

Default: none

audit_size

Specifies the size of the PMDB audit log file, in KB. Do not specify a size less than 50 KB.

Default: 50 KB

Specifies the name of the PMDB error backup file.

Default: pmd_error.bak

error_log

Specifies the name of the PMDB error log file.

Default: pmd_error

error_group

Specifies the group that can read the PMDB error files. If no group is specified, only root can read the error files. CA ControlMinder does not verify the value of this token, so if you enter an invalid group name, CA ControlMinder does not assign any group permissions to the error log files.

To change the group ownership of an existing error log file, do the following:

1. Use the selang command chgrp to set the group ownership of the files.
2. Change the UNIX permissions by entering:

   	chmod 640 /opt/CA/AccessControl/log/seos.error
   

Default: none

1-List only error messages.

2-List error and informational messages.
