10.7.2  Configuring Additional Log File Directories

In order to add saved log files to the web interface's navigation tree, files can be saved under the svctools directory, or in one or more directories you specify by editing the Desta registry.

To add log files which are saved in directories outside of the svctools path, you must first add the full path of each directory to the CA.WUI.OLDirs key. Multiple directories are added using a comma separated list.

For more information on Log Files, see Section 7.4.4.

Windows, HP-UX, and Linux

Follow these steps:

  1. Add the key to the registry if it does not already exist:
desta dri add CA.WUI.OLDirs

  1. Set the new value for the key using the full path of each directory:
desta dri set CA.WUI.OLDirs "directory1,directory2,..."
For example, in Windows you would enter:
desta dri set CA.WUI.OLDirs "c:\morelogs,d:\evenmorelogs"
  1. View the new values for the key:
desta dri get CA.WUI.OLDirs
In Windows, the system displays the following:
CA.WUI.OLDirs=c:\morelogs,d:\evenmorelogs

  1. Stop and restart the Director to apply the changes (see Sections 3.8 and  3.7).

To delete the key and remove all directories from the search list, enter:

desta dri del CA.WUI.OLDirs
