Monitoring with Traces

A DSA's trace is its record of almost all operations going into and out of that DSA. You can view a DSA's trace in the log files, and also by using the DSA console.

You can set the trace levels for each DSA. Each trace level records only a certain type of information about the DSA's operations.

Because the trace can be written to log files, you should not leave the trace set to a high level if it is not required. This can fill up log files and waste disk space.

We recommend that you set the trace level in the configuration files of all DSAs to a low level, such as error.

You can change the tracing level temporarily using the DSA console. When the DSA is next restarted, the tracing returns to the level set in the configuration file.
