You can change any of the default settings. For more information, see Changing the Default Logging Configuration.
On Linux, the following settings are default:
log.main.components = *
log.main.level = ERROR
log.main.type = syslog
This means that OWCIMOMD logging is set up to go to the /var/log/messages file or to other files depending on the configuration of syslogd. It logs all errors for all components (OWCIMOMD).
On NetWare, the following settings are default:
log.main.components = *

log.main.location = /system/cimom/var/owcimomd.log
log.main.max_backup_index = 1
log.main.max_file_size = 1000
log.main.type = file
This means that OWCIMOMD logging is set up to go to the sys:\system\cimom\var\owmgmt_openwebem_lx_nwd.log file. The default file size is 1000 KB with one backup file. It logs all errors for all components (OWCIMOMD).
