866.0. "Not logging or watching." by MSDOA::LOVE (Norman Love @KXO) Thu Jul 13 1995 14:52

I am new at this, just install PCM v1.5 on a VAXstation 3100 with VMS v6.1.  I
set up to watch port 2 on a terminal server with a terminal attached.  I set up
filters for three events: **ERROR** as critical, **TEST** as minor, and
*Warning* as a warning.  I set up the action to send mail to SYSTEM.  When I
type these events on the terminal I get the mail messages sent and the ICON
on the console window turns to the correct color and the list in the event
window is of the same color.  But I can not find any logfiles.  I do notice
that this morning there are log files and event files created yesterday which
were not there yesterday but nothing for today.  When I do a WATCH command with
output to TT: nothing is displayed, even though I get the mail messages.  Also
the ENS status counts these events but it also counts failed action for each of
these events even though the mail messages are sent.  
	I noticed in one of the earlier notes it was mentioned that logging
must be enabled, how do I determine if logging is enabled or not and how do I
change its state?  I use CONSOLE C3 and have gone through all of the menus and
can not find anything that determines the state of logging, although when I go
into the editor and show the system it has the Log Console Data checked with
the location specified as CONSOLE$LOGFILES. As I mentioned above, yesterday
there was nothing for this system in there but this morning there is, but
nothing for this morning.
	I also noticed mentioning of a MUP for v1.5, what is a MUP and is it on
the March 1995 distribution?

Thanks for any help

Norm,

  You check logging by looking at the definition for your managed
  system in the PCM database...

$ CONSOLE EDIT/INTER=CHAR

    Logging is enabled, directory = cmlogs2

  Note the last line of output before the prompt returns. It would
  appear from your description that you do indeed have logging enabled.

  We had problems with Extract in V1.5 which the MUP fixed, I dont know
  if the MUP is on the March CONDIST, but is certainly on the June
  CONDIST (Well, its on my copy anyway).

  If I were you, I would skip the MUP and install the V1.6 kit in
  OPG::CM$KIT: this kit fixes A LOT of problems with the V1.5
  (including MUP) release.

  As for not seeing the data in Watch etc or even getting LOG files
  created, this is a little puzzling, although again, we did fix some
  buffer flushing problems which may have produced what you are seeing,
  again, I would recommend that you upgrade.

Cheers,
Phil
