Checking log files for errors

Like the Replication Server, the LTM displays status and error messages in its log file. The default name for the log file is ltm.log. You can change this default by restarting ltm with the -E option and specifying the error log file name to use.

You can check the ltm.log files for any error messages. One way to do this is by using Sybase Central, which also lets you invoke shell scripts based on errors reported in those logs.

In Sybase Central, see the topics under “Viewing the Error Log” in Replication Server’s plug-in help.

Messages continue to accumulate in the error log files until you remove them. For this reason, you may choose to truncate the log files when the LTM is shut down.

If a log file is unavailable, important error information is written to the standard error output file, which you can display on a terminal or redirect to a file.
