You can evaluate and display the message log and the trace log files of the IBM Communications Server using the Management Console.
Configuring logging and traces
Select a communication service under the item Communications Services in the navigation tree or in Communication Service in the proxy's navigation tree and then choose Edit Properties in the communication service's (in this case IBM Communications Server for Linux) context menu. The table Edit Properties of Communication Service Instance lists the defined values which you are now able to edit.
Check the appropriate options to activate or deactivate logging and traces. Additionally you can switch on more detailed versions of audit logging (with the Verbose Audits option) and of problem and exception logging (with the Verbose Errors option).
If the IBM Communications Server is running, the change comes into effect when you save the Communication Service.
Evaluating logging and traces
To display these files, choose the following nodes in the navigation tree of the proxy: Advanced Features - Diagnosis - Output - General Diagnostic Info. In the table, select one of the entries Communications Server (Windows) Message Log or Communications Server (Windows) Trace Log. Then click the Show File button.
The Management Console converts a selected trace file to a text file and transfers the converted text file or the message log file to the local diagnostic path and displays the file in a Text File panel.
