Collect events to diagnose or audit server operations

We can collect events for diagnostic and auditing purposes of the servers.

Events for diagnostics and auditing are for operations of the ISAM servers.

These events are not for installation of the servers. To enable diagnostics and auditing, we define which types of events to capture. When events are captured, they can be written to:

• Log file
• Standard output (STDOUT) device
• Standard error (STDERR) device
• Combination of these destinations.

Beyond these destinations, when events are captured, they can be redirected to a remote server or redirected to an application for processing with log agents.

• Diagnostic events
  For collecting diagnostic information, define which message events and which trace events to capture. These events can help us troubleshoot problems.
• Audit events
  For auditing purposes, define audit, statistic, or other type of events for capture in a log file.
