Log File Options

This section provides information about the parameters that you can use to configure the SiteMinder Agent Provider log and the SiteMinder Agent connection log.

You can set these parameters in the following locations:

Parameter

Description

LogAppend

Determines whether the SiteMinder Agent logs information to an existing log file instead of rewriting the entire file each time logging is invoked.

Note: To use the LogAppend parameter, also specify the LogFile and LogFileName parameters.

LogConsole

Logs messages in a Command Prompt window.

LogFile

Determines whether messages are written to a file.

If you set the Logfile parameter to yes, be sure to specify the location of the log file in the LogFileName parameter.

LogFileName

If the Logfile parameter is set to yes, the location and file name of the file where the SiteMinder Agent writes messages.

LogLevel

Determines the amount and type of information that is logged in a file or a console window. The log levels are:

0—No log messages, however, a log file is created.

1—Fatal messages

2—Error messages

3—Warning messages

4—Information messages

5—Trace messages

LogRollover

Determines whether the SiteMinder Agent starts a new log file after a specified period or when the log file reaches a certain size.

If set to yes, a new log file is created after the amount of time specified in the LogRolloverTime parameter, or after the log reaches the size specified in the LogRolloverSize parameter.

LogRolloverSize

Indicates the maximum KB size of the log file before the SiteMinder Agent creates a new log file.

The default is 10 MB (10240 KB).

Note: The LogRollover parameter must be set to yes for this parameter to apply.

Indicates when the SiteMinder Agent creates a new log file. Specify:

  • 1 to create a new log file every hour
  • 12 to create a new log file every 12 am or 12 pm
  • 24 to create a new log file every day
  • 168 to create a new log file every week
  • 720 to create a new log file every month

The default value is every 12 hours.

Note: The LogRollover parameter must be set to yes for this parameter to apply.
