vtl logging configure Command

NAME

 vtl logging configure - set path to store log files

SYNOPSIS

vtl logging configure <logPath>

DESCRIPTION

Sets the directory path where log files are to be stored.

See vtl logging show to display the current log path.

The client library writes log messages to SYSLOG on Linux/UNIX systems.
However, for Windows, the log messages are written to the file "LunaCryptokiLog.htm" at the location that you specify in <logPath>.

 

To demonstrate that the logging is working on a Windows platform, you could create an error situation as follows:

1. Enable the client side log on a Windows platform.

2. Create a client certificate.

3. Register the client with a Luna SA 5.x appliance.

4. Manually delete the client certificate file.

5. Run ckemo or another application against a partition on that Luna SA.   NTL is broken for this client (due to the missing certificate), so any commands from your application should fail.

6. Check LunaCryptokiLog.htm and observe error messages written there.
