Setting Up Log and Configuration File Tracking

SAS Environment Manager enables you to monitor log files for events and configuration files for changes. When entries appear in these files, they are presented in SAS Environment Manager as events. You can also define alerts that are issued when selected types of messages appear in the log or when a selected configuration file is changed. See Working with Resource Alerts for more information. In order for you to track log files and configuration files for a resource, you must turn on log file and configuration file tracking. If you do not configure log file or configuration file tracking, a warning message and a link to the Configuration page appears on the Detail page for the resource

To enable and configure log file and configuration file tracking for a resource, follow these steps:

Locate the resource for which you want to configure log tracking. Select ResourcesBrowse to view a list of all monitored resources.
Click on the resource name to display the Monitor page for the resource. Click Inventory.
In the Configuration Properties section of the page, click Edit.
On the Configuration Properties page, select the server.log_track enable check box.
Specify a comma-delimited list of the logs that should be monitored in the server.log_track.files field.
If you also want to track configuration changes, select the server.config_track.enable check box. Not every resource provides the ability to track configuration changes.
Specify a comma-delimited list of the configuration files that should be monitored in the server.config_track.files field.
