Logging NSS Daemon Operation

Dr.Web for Novell Storage Services can log opeartion using syslog system service or saving the information to a log file. In the former case, messages are logged in the following format:

'['tid']' name[.sub] level text

where:

•tid – identifier of thread which sent the logging message

•name – name of the logging module

•sub – name of the logging service. The most important services are:

oipc – service of interprocess communication

othrN – service supporting the thread pool with the N number

•level – log verbosity level. You can specify one of the levels: FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG

•text – text of the logged message.

By default, the syslog level is set to INFO on startup of a module. After receiving configuration from Dr.Web Agent, the verbosity level is adjusted to the specified value.

If it is required to set DEBUG level once the module starts (for example, to log information on parameters received from Dr.Web Agent), use --level command line parameter.

Please note that after configuration is received from Dr.Web Agent, the verbosity level is adjusted to the one specified in the configuration file, regardless of the value set with the --level parameter.
