Parameter
icm/security_log
Short text
Configuration of ICM security log
Parameter Description
You can use this parameter to control the output of the security log from the ICM and SAP Web Dispatcher.
The parameter has the following syntax: icm/security_log = LOGFILE=[name of the log file] [, LEVEL=[security level], MAXSIZEKB=[max. size of the log file], SWITCHTF=[options for new file], FILEWRAP=on]
The specified values have the following meanings:
LOGFILE
Name of the output file in the file system. So that the files have meaningful names, you can use the following options to specify the file name:
• %d Day of the month (1-31)
• %m Month (1-12)
• %y Year, in four digit format YYYY
• %h Hour (0-23)
• %t Minute (0-59)
• %s Seconds (0-59)
• %% ‘%’ character
LOGFILE=security_log-%d-%m-%y_%h:%t:%s
produces a security file with the name: security_log-15-12-2000_16:51:53
LEVEL=1-3: This value indicates the level of detail recorded in the trace in accordance with the trace level.
• 1: Only the reason for the entry is recorded
• 2: Additional information about the status of the connection and the start of the data that gave rise to the entry is recorded (default value)
• 3: All the data that gave rise to the entry is logged
MAXSIZEKB
Maximum size of the security file in kilobytes. If this size is exceeded, the current file is closed and a new one (with a new name) is opened.
SWITCHTF
A new security log can be created not only if the file reaches a certain size, but also when the time data changes. The following values are possible: hour, day, month. After this period of time, a new file is created.
FILEWRAP
If FILEWRAP=on is active, every time a new file is opened (due to time or size limits being exceeded), the existing security file is reset and overwritten. Therefore, there is always only one security file with the current security data.
