Customize logging events with tracing configuration files

Tracing configuration files are ASCII files that customize the logging of message and trace events for C language-based servers, daemons, and other C-language programs and applications. The application-specific tracing configuration file is read at startup. We can control the following aspects of logging event activity:

• Enable logging for specific event classes.
• Direct the output for each event class.
• Number of log files used for each event class.
• Size of each log file used for each event class.

To customize logging of message and trace events for Java applications, see Java properties files.
