Property
Description
Server log filename
The NameServer log filename. Enter a valid path name.
The installed default is @{WorkPath}\NS1.NS.log.
NameServer logging level (dynamic property)
A value that specifies the amount of information that is written to the NameServer log. Select from the following values in the drop-down list:
*None — Log no entries. This is equivalent to turning logging off.
*Error Only — Log OpenEdge error messages. This includes all error messages and is unrelated to the entry types specified. Errors continue to be logged at all higher levels.
*Basic — Logging entry types determine the logged information. Each entry type generates at least some output. This is the default.
*Verbose — Logging entry types determine the logged information, but it is typically more information than Basic.
*Extended — Logging entry types determine the logged information, but it is typically more information than Verbose.
The installed default is Basic. You can update this property dynamically. Any changes will affect all current and new NameServers.
Append to NameServer log file
A check box that indicates whether a new server log file should be created when the NameServer is started.
To create a new NameServer log file each time the NameServer is started, even if the NameServer log file already exists, clear the check box.
To append log entries to the existing NameServer log file, select the check box.
Append to NameServer log file is selected by default.
Logging entry types (dynamic property)
The default and only supported entry is NSPlumbing. Specifying the NSPlumbing log entry type turns on logging for different NameServer actions based on logging level:
*Basic — Logs messages when a NameServer starts and stops, for load balancing status, and when registering and unregistering brokers. This is the default logging level.
*Verbose — Same as Basic, plus logs requests from clients and status information on the communication between client and NameServer and between NameServer and brokers.
*Extended — Same as Verbose, plus logs debugging messages on broker unregistering.
Log entries generated for this type contain the tag NSPlumbing.You can update this property dynamically. Any changes will affect all current and new NameServers.
Log file threshold size
A value of 0 or a value between 500,000 and 2,147,483,647, where 0 means there is no limit on the log file size other than what the operating system imposes.
Maximum number of log files
The number of rolled-over log files to keep. The value can be 0 or a value between 2 and 999999, where 0 means there is no limit on the number of NameServer log files to keep. The specified number represents the maximum total number of log files to keep on disk at any time, including the current log file being written to.
When the file becomes equal to or greater than the Log file threshold size, the client process renames it and creates a new log file. The file is renamed as follows, where ###### is a number starting at 000001 and increasing to 999999, after which it rolls back over to 000001:filename.######.extension
