Troubleshooting information is available in log files that
are generated by the z/OS® Log Forwarder and
by IBM SmartCloud® Analytics - Log Analysis.
z/OS Log Forwarder log
files
z/OS Log Forwarder logging
information (and tracing information, if tracing is enabled) is sent
to the STDERR data set on the GLAPROC job.
Significant
z/OS Log Forwarder messages,
such as the following messages, are also written to the console:
- Startup and shutdown messages are written as information messages.
- Certain errors are written as action messages. These messages
are cleared when the error condition is resolved or when the z/OS Log Forwarder is
stopped.
The level of message information that is provided on the
console and in the STDERR data set is the same. However, if stack
trace data is available, it is included in only the STDERR data set.
