Table 4–1: NameServer properties (4 of 6)
Property category or property Description
Logging entry types
(dynamic property)
The default and only supported entry is
NSPlumbing. Specifying the NSPlumbing log
entry type turns on logging for different
NameServer actions based on logging level:
• Basic — Logs messages when a
NameServer starts and stops, for load
balancing status, and when registering
and unregistering brokers. This is the
default logging level.
• Verbose — Same as Basic, plus logs
requests from clients and status
information on the communication
between client and NameServer and
between NameServer and brokers.
• Extended — Same as Verbose, plus
logs debugging messages on broker
unregistering.
Log entries generated for this type contain the
tag NSPlumbing.
You can update this property dynamically.
Any changes will affect all current and new
NameServers.
Log file threshold size A value of 0 or a value between 500,000 and
2,147,483,647, where 0 means there is no
limit on the log file size other than what the
operating system imposes.
Maximum number of log files The number of rolled-over log files to keep.
The value can be 0 or a value between 2 and
999999, where 0 means there is no limit on the
number of NameServer log files to keep. The
specified number represents the maximum
total number of log files to keep on disk at any
time, including the current log file being
written to.
When the file becomes equal to or greater than
the Log file threshold size, the client process
renames it and creates a new log file. The file
is renamed as follows, where ###### is a
number starting at 000001 and increasing to
999999, after which it rolls back over to
000001:
