Local File
The Local File panel on the Local Device Logging page lets you enable message logging to local log files. These log files are logged to the local device and are not rolled up to the ZENworks Server and cannot be viewed in ZENworks Control Center.
On a Windows managed device, the local files include the following:
-
zmd-messages.log located in \novell\zenworks\logs\localstore
-
loader-messages.log located in \novell\zenworks\logs
-
services-messages.log located in \novell\zenworks\logs
On a Linux managed device, the local files include the following:
-
loader-messages.log located in /var/opt/novell/log/zenworks
-
services-messages.log located in /var/opt/novell/log/zenworks
Log Message to a Local File if Severity Is
Indicates filtering criteria based on severity:
-
Error: Stores messages with a severity of Error.
-
Warning and Above: Stores messages with a severity of Warning and Error.
-
Information and Above: Stores messages with a severity of Information, Warning, and Error.
-
Debug and above: Stores messages with a severity of Information, Warning, and Error as well as additional debugging information. Because of the amount of information being stored, performance might be affected. Debug information is never sent to the ZENworks Server and must be viewed on the local device.
If you need to troubleshoot a ZENworks Adaptive Agent issue on an individual device, you can change the severity setting so that additional information is logged. To do so, on the device, double-click the 
icon in the system tray; click in the left navigation pane; then select an option from the drop-down list.
Rolling Based on Size
Closes the current log file and starts a new one based on the file size:
-
Limit File Size to: Specify the maximum size of the log file, in either kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB). The log file is closed after reaching the specified size and a new one is started.
-
Number of Backup Files: Specify the number of closed files to be retained as backups. The maximum number of backup files is 13.
Rolling Based on Date
Closes the current log file and starts a new one based on the date. The two date options are:
-
Daily Pattern: Starts a new file daily.
-
Monthly Pattern: Starts a new file monthly.
