VCS logging

VCS generates two error message logs: the engine logs and the agent logs. Log file names are appended by letters, where A indicates the first log file, B the second, C the third, and so on; for example, agent_A.txt.

The agent log is located at %VCS_HOME%\log (typically c:\Program Files\Veritas\cluster server\log). The format of agent log messages is as follows:

Timestamp Mnemonic Severity Message_ID Message_Text

where:

Timestamp	Shows the date and time when the message was logged.
Mnemonic	Identifies the product (for example, VCS).
Severity	Indicates the severity of the error, which can be CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, NOTICE, or INFO. CRITICAL messages are the most severe, whereas INFO messages are the least severe.
Message_ID	Is the unique numeric ID of the error message. The prefix V-16 denotes VCS.
Message_Text	Is the message generated by VCS.

For example, a typical agent log message looks like this:

2006/01/24 11:04:17 VCS ERROR V-16-10051-6026 GenericService:
CLSEV1-EnterpriseVaultAdminService:monitor:
