F.3 Log file categories

Table 10 identifies and explains the RMS log files contained in /var/opt/SMAWRrms/log.

Table F.1 Log files
Module	File Name	Contents
base monitor	tracelog	Records all messages between objects and all modification instructions. By default, RMS places no messages in tracelog.
base monitor	abortstartlog	When the following message is displayed while starting, this file is created. FATAL ERROR: RMS has failed to start! Further details about the problem may appear in the switchlog. This file is created for field engineers to identify the cause of RMS startup failure.
base monitor	bmlog	General RMS error and message logging information ranges from simple message reporting to more complete information. The error log level determines the contents of this file, which is specified when the base monitor is started. See "F.4 Managing base monitor log output" for more information. This file includes all messages received by the base monitor at runtime. It also contains information generated by hvdump (see "F.10.1 Using the hvdump command (RMS)"). Should be used by experts only, since turning on log level flags consumes a great deal of disk space. By default, RMS places no messages in bmlog.
Object's detector and script related to applications	<application_name>.log	All messages related to applications are recorded. The output of all the scripts which are executed by the application is also written to the log file.
Everything (base monitor, generic detector)	switchlog	Operational events, such as resource switches or bugs. Normally, switchlog is the only log file users need to examine.
generic detector	<program>log	All messages and job assignments received by the detector. Also contains resource state change information and all error messages. program is the name of the detector under RELIANT_PATH.
