| Option | Default | Subparameters |
|---|---|---|
| ALL | No | No |
| CONNECT | Yes | No |
 DATASET |
Yes | No |
| INVENTRY | No | No |
| LOCBUFF | Yes | No |
| LOGSTRM | Yes | No |
| MISC | Yes | No |
| RECOVERY | Yes | No |

- ALL
- Traces all system logger events.
- ASID
- Traces events for only the specified address space identifiers (ASID).
- COMPERR
- Traces internal system logger errors or unexpected
events. This option is not specifiable and is always traced, as it
is considered the minimal tracing.
- CONNECT
- Traces list structure connections, disconnections, rebuild and event exit processing.
- DATASET
- Traces log stream data set allocation and management.
- INVENTRY
- Traces log stream and structure definition and deletion processing as well as all LOGR CDS accesses. Do not specify this option unless requested by the IBM® Support Center as this generate a large amount of records and may cause the buffer to wrap frequently.
- LOCBUFF
- Traces system logger local buffer management.
- LOGSTRM
- Traces log stream functional request processing.
- MISC
- Traces system logger internal miscellaneous services.
- RECOVERY
- Traces system logger component recovery, detecting abnormal conditions during processing.
- SERIAL
- Traces system logger serialization services.
- STORAGE
- Traces system logger storage management. Do not specify this option unless requested by the IBM Support Center as this will generate a large amount of records and may cause the buffer to wrap frequently.
- STRMNAME
- Traces events for only the specified log streams. If you specify
STRMNAME, the specified log streams filter the CONNECT, LOGSTRM, INVENTRY,
and DATA SET options. The STRMNAME parameter must be specified STRMNAME=(strmname1).
If you specify more than one log stream, STRMNAME must be specified
STRMNAME=(strmname1,strmname2).
A maximum of eight log stream names can be specified.
Note that the system does not verify the log stream names specified.
