Sending events to the console

Logging to the console is the easiest event logging option to configure. Associate an output destination of standard out or standard error with the category of events in the event pool to capture:

[ivmgrd]
logcfg = category:{stdout|stderr}

Log to the console does not use any queuing. The events are written to the console as they are received from the propagation queue. Depending on the queue settings, events might be delayed in the propagation queue.

If we are using console output and running a server in the foreground for debugging purposes, we might want to set the propagation queue settings accordingly. For example, set the hi_water parameter to a low value.
