A log is
a record of events related to a server or a client.
In Sybase Control Center, logging
helps system administrators identify errors and other system events by recording messages about the events in log files. Sybase Control Center maintains these logs:
- The client log—captures messages about activities in the browser-based client components. These messages are generated by the component products to display information that is pertinent to the user but not critical enough to warrant a pop-up. Sybase also uses the client log to trace client browser operations.
- Server logs—capture messages about activities during the initialization sequence, such as starting services; auditing messages recording logins and logouts; errors such as missed scheduled events; and other events on the server. Server logs include:
- Component logs, which record only events concerning individual product modules
- The agent log, a composite log that records events in all components and in the Sybase Control Center framework
- The repository log—captures information about inserts and updates that have occurred in the Sybase Control Center repository, a SQL Anywhere database.
