Configure Log Files

Log files generated by the CA DataMinder infrastructure can be configured in the local machine policy. For some logs, you can also choose which types of event are logged.

Configuration for infrastructure-based log files

  1. Edit the required machine policy.

    You can the common policy for client machines or gateways or the policy for an individual machine.

  2. In the Machine Policy Editor screen, go to the Infrastructure > Logging folder. Policy settings in this folder specify the maximum number and size of log files and whether log entries are copied to external logs.

    Further settings configure the individual log types. For example, you can specify which activities are recorded in the Activity log file. Likewise, for the Policy Incidents log you must specify the iConsole address that is incorporated into the event URL in each log message.

    For details about these policy settings, click Logging settings.

  3. If required, you can configure CA DataMinder to send log messages to the Windows event log.
  4. If required, you can configure CA DataMinder to send log messages to a Syslog server:

Configuration for non-infrastructure logs

Log files that are not created by the infrastructure (such as iConsole and Event Import logs) are configured using an alternative mechanism. For details, see the Platform Deployment Guide; search for 'log files, configuring'.
