Disabling the logging of NetBackup processes

You can disable the logging of a NetBackup process by changing the logging level of the process.

Note:

To enable Logging for critical processes, in the NetBackup Administration Console, select NetBackup Management > Host Properties. Double-click on Master Servers, Media Servers, or Clients and select a host. Open the Logging properties and click Enable.

To disable the logging of a process by changing the logging level

  • Do any of the following:
    • In the Logging dialog box, in the Process specific overrides pane, set the logging level of the process to No logging.

    • Use the Logging Assistant to change the logging level of a process to disable the logging of the process.

      See Disabling debug logging.

      Note:

      For the processes for which you cannot change or disable logging levels using the Logging > Process specific overrides pane or the Logging Assistant, use the configuration file option.

    • Change or disable the logging level of a process by modifying using the configuration file (the Windows registry or the bp.conf file in UNIX). Use the bpsetconfig command to set the ProcessName_VERBOSE parameter to -2.

      Example 1 - To disable logging for the bprd process, use the bpsetconfig command to set the value of BPRD_VERBOSE as follows:

      bpsetconfig> BPRD_VERBOSE = -2

      Example 2 - To disable logging for the bpfis process that is specific to NetBackup clients, run the bpsetconfig command on the associated media server or master server with the - h host option to set the value of BPFIS_VERBOSE as follows:

      bpsetconfig> -h client_host_name
      bpsetconfig> BPFIS_VERBOSE = -2

      See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for information on the bpsetconfig command.

      Note:

      Do not edit the configuration file manually. Incorrect syntax or characters in the file may adversely affect NetBackup operations.
