Diagnosis of SNAP-IX for Solaris systems

Logging files containing different types of messages and several trace options are provided for diagnosing SNAP-IX problems.

Messages in log files

SNAP-IX differentiates between three types of messages in log files:

• Problem

  Messages with the type Problem indicate a serious and unexpected event and are always logged.

• Exception

  Messages with the type Exception indicate events which degrade system performance or which will cause problems or degrade performance in the future.

• Audit

  Messages with the type Audit indicate normal events during the SNAP-IX run.

SNAP-IX traces

SNAP-IX provides several trace options for diagnosing SNAP-IX-specific problems (Line Tracing, API Tracing, Client-Server-Tracing, TN Server Tracing and Internal Tracing).
