How do I manage NSP Analytics logging?

Purpose

The following steps describe how to enable, configure, and disable the logging of Analytics events for troubleshooting purposes.

By default, NSP Analytics logs only error events.

CAUTION

Excessive Resource Consumption Risk

Performing the procedure restarts NSP Analytics. Also, the logging may consume excessive disk space if logging is enabled for an extended period.

Perform the procedure only if required, and only for the period required to collect the log entries of interest. Contact technical support for assistance or more information.

Note: The following RHEL CLI prompt in a command line denotes the nsp user, and is not to be included in a typed command:

Steps
 

Sign in to the NSP as an administrator.


Open Data Collection and Analysis Management, Analytics Server Management.


Click Logging Configuration on the navigation panel.

CAUTION

Performance Degradation Risk

Enabling an NSP Analytics logging level other than the default, especially using the All option, or the auditing option in Step 6, may cause performance degradation as a result of excessive resource consumption.

Ensure that you enable a non-default logging option only as and when directed by technical support, and that the logging level is reset to the default afterward.

Use the Server log level drop-down list to set the log level, which is one of the following:

  • Default—error logging only

  • All—error, ad-hoc, and database transaction logging

  • Ad Hoc—ad-hoc report logging

  • SQL—database transaction logging only


To reset the server logging level to the default, click the Reset button beside the Server log level drop-down.


Only as directed by technical support, use the Auditing logs drop-down to enable audit logging that includes all log levels, for example, information, warning, and error.

Note: It is strongly recommended that audit logging is not enabled for an extended period; contact technical support before you enable the option.


To disable audit logging level, use the Auditing logs drop-down, or click the Reset button beside the drop-down.
