Diagnosis of the IBM Communications Server for Linux

Logging files containing different types of messages and several trace options are provided for diagnosing IBM Communications Server problems.

Messages in Log Files

The IBM Communications Server differentiates between three types of messages in log files:

• Problem

  Messages with the type Problem indicate serious and unexpected events 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 IBM Communications Server run.

IBM Communications Server traces

The IBM Communications Server provides several trace options for diagnosing IBM-Communications-Server-specific problems (Line Tracing, API Tracing, Client-ServerTracing, TN Server Tracing and Internal Tracing).
