Runtime components provided by the RMS Wizard Tools write log messages to files in the same log directory as the RMS base monitor, which is defined in the RELIANT_LOG_PATH environment variable. Messages from these components can be broken down into two categories:
Messages from resource detectors
All other messages
Detector logging is described in "F.6 Managing detector log output". The following discussion applies to all other log messages.
The runtime components provided by the configuration tools log everything at an application level. In addition to the normal user-oriented messages, they can also generate debug messages with various levels of detail. The user and debug messages may be written to the following files in RELIANT_LOG_PATH:
Switchlog - The standard subapplications supplied by the RMS Wizard Tools record detector reports related to fault and offline transitions into the switchlog file.
<application_name>.log - The application-specific log file records all messages associated with that application. The output from any scripts run by the application also go into its log file. The file is created when either offline or online processing for the application begins.
hvdet_<xxx>.g<n>log - These are detector log files which record all relevant information regarding the resources they are monitoring, such as all state transitions.
When debugging application problems, the switchlog file, the application-specific log file, and any appropriate detector log files may all need to be viewed and interpreted.
