Trace Log Components and Subcomponents

The Web Agent can monitor specific SiteMinder components. When you monitor a component, all of the events for that component are recorded in the trace log. Each component has one or more subcomponents that the Web Agent can also monitor. If you do not want the Web Agent to record all of the events for a component, you can specify only those subcomponents you want to monitor instead.

For example, if you want to record only the single sign-on messages for a Web Agent on a web server, you would specify The Web Agent component and the SSO subcomponent.
