Event Logging Policy Group

The Event Logging policy group contains the following event log policies. You can modify policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.

Event: Log file

Specifies the file name for event logs. If no file extension is specified, “.log” is appended automatically. Note that rotated log files have file extension ".001," ".002," and so on.

Note: The Events.log file is by default created in c:\Program Files\CA\DSM\logs. You can change the default path; however, the log file is then created only after restarting the Common Application Framework (CAF), but not immediately.

Default: Events.log

Event: Message file

Specifies the event message file defined to the Init() method. If none is provided, cfEventMsg.txt is used by default.

Default: cfEventMsg.txt

Event: Source

Specifies the event source defined to the Init() method. If none is provided, DSM is used by default.

Default: DSM

Event Log: Backwards compatible event log

Indicates whether DSM log events are compatible with earlier versions of Unicenter Software Delivery and Unicenter Asset Management.

Event Log: Event log facility

Specifies the UNIX syslog facility. Valid values are as follows:

• -1 = user

Event Log: File destination

Specifies the event log destination. You can specify multiple destinations by adding flags together. Valid values are as follows:

• 1 = Default
• 2 = OS log
• 4 = CCS event log
