Configure spsagent Logs

CA SiteMinder SPS logs errors that are related to the proxy engine in the spsagent logs. A local configuration file or an ACO in the Policy Server contains the parameters that enable error logging and determine logging options.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the ACO of CA SiteMinder SPS in the Policy Server.
2. Set the value of the LogFile parameter to yes.

   Note: Setting the value of this parameter to yes in a local configuration file overrides any of the logging settings that are defined on the Policy Server.

3. Complete the following parameters:

   LogFileName

   Specifies the full path including the file name, to the log file.

   LogAppend

   Adds new log information to the end of an existing log file. When this parameter is set to no, the entire log file is rewritten each time logging is invoked.

   LogFileSize

   Specifies the size limit of the log file in megabytes. When the current log file reaches this limit, a new log file is created.

   LogLocalTime

   Specifies whether the logs use Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or local time. To use GMT, change this setting to no. If this parameter does not exist, the default setting is used.

   The error logs are configured.
