Logging: New Logging Utility Makes Troubleshooting Even Easier
Overview
The new Logging utility makes it easier than ever to capture key information for
troubleshooting. Historically, many of the messages in the dncsLog file were simply
statuses and did not indicate any error conditions. Operators had to filter through a
lot of status information to find specific error conditions. The new Logging utility
allows you to fine-tune log levels for processes and their libraries. The fine-tuning
ensures that the dncsLog file contains more of the information you need to
troubleshoot issues. The dncsLog file contains information for all processes. Each
process also has its own log file, providing access to focused troubleshooting
information.
