Configuring Applications to Use Reporting

Application Launcher/Explorer must know which method of reporting (database, SNMP trap, or log file) to use for an application and which events to report for the application. You provide this information through the Application object's Reporting page (Common tab).

1. In ConsoleOne, right-click the Application object for which you want to configure reporting > click Properties.

2. Click the Common tab > Reporting.

   
   

3. Fill in the following fields:

   Events: Select the events (launch, distribution, filtering, uninstall, and cache) that you want reported and the destination where you want the events sent. You can send events to a database, to a management console via an SNMP trap, or to a text log file. If necessary, you can send events to multiple destinations (for example, both a database and a text log file).

   Log File Location: If you selected a log file as the destination for any of the event reports, click the Browse button to display the Open dialog box > browse to and open the folder in which you want the log file located > type a name for the log file in the File Name box > click OK.

   If you want to save the events for all users to the same log file, specify a log file in a common network location (one that users have Read and Write rights to). If you want users to have individual log files, specify a location on their local drive (for example, c:\temp).

4. Click OK to save the changes.
