The nfslog.conf file specifies the location of
the NFS server logs, as well as the location of the private
work files used by the NFS server and nfslogd(1M) daemon during logging.
Each entry in the file consists of a mandatory tag identifier and one or
more parameter identifiers. The parameter identifier specifies the value
or location of the specific parameter. For instance, the parameter identifier
"log=/var/nfs/logs/serverLog" specifies the location
of the NFS server activity log. The mandatory tag identifier
serves as an index into the /etc/nfs/nfslog.conf file
to identify the various parameters to be used. At export time, the share_nfs(1M)
command specifies the NFS server logging parameters
to use by associating a tag from the /etc/nfs/nfslog.conf
file to the exported file system. It is legal for more than one file system
to be exported using the same logging tag identifier.
A "global" tag identifier is included in /etc/nfs/nfslog.conf. It specifies the default set of values to be used during
logging. If no tag identifier is specified at export time, then the values
in the "global" entry are used. The "global" values can be modified by
updating this entry in /etc/nfs/nfslog.conf.
Each entry in the file must contain a mandatory tag identifier and
at least one parameter/value pair. If a parameter is not specified in a
given entry, the global value of the parameter will be used. The exact
entry syntax follows:
| |
<tag> [defaultdir=<path>] [log=<path><file>] [fhtable=<path><file>] \
[buffer=<path><file>] [logformat=basic|extended]
|
-
defaultdir=<path>
- Specifies the directory
where the logging files and working files will be placed. This path
is prepended to all relative paths specified in other parameters.
-
log=<path><file>
- Specifies the location of the user-readable log file. The
log will be located in the defaultdir, unless <path> is an absolute path.
-
fhtable=<path><file>
- Specifies the location of the private file handle to path
mapping database files. These database files are for the private use of
the NFS server kernel module and the nfslogd daemon. These files will be located in the defaultdir, unless <path> is an absolute path. These
database files are permanently stored in the file system. Consult nfslogd(1M)
for information on pruning the database files.
-
buffer=<path><file>
- Specifies the location of the private work buffer file
used by the NFS server kernel module to record raw RPC information. This file is later processed by the nfslog daemon, which in turn generates the user-readable log
file. This work buffer file will be located in the defaultdir, unless <path> is an absolute path.
-
logformat=basic|extended
- Sets the format of the user-readable log file. If not specified,
the basic format is used. The basic format is compatible with log files
generated by the Washington University FTPd. The extended
format provides a more detailed log, which includes directory modification
operations not included in the basic format, such as mkdir, rmdir and remove. Note that the extended format
is not compatible with Washington University's FTPd log
format.
