EAT_VERBOSE option for NetBackup servers and clients

Used for debugging purposes, the EAT_VERBOSE option controls the amount of information NetBackup includes in the authentication service (AT) client logs that pertain to NetBackup processes.

Table: EAT_VERBOSE information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup servers or clients.

How to use

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

Use the following format:

EAT_VERBOSE = [ 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]

The default is that the entry is not present in the configuration file.

The AT logs are generated for the NetBackup processes based on the default logging level, which reports only errors.

Following are some of the NetBackup processes that use the AT service:

  • bpnbat

  • bpnbaz

  • nbcertcmd

  • nbsl

If the EAT_VERBOSE entry is present in the configuration file, the verbosity of AT logs for the NetBackup processes is based on the EAT_VERBOSE option. The AT logs are stored in the respective process log files.

To disable AT logging for NetBackup processes, set the EAT_VERBOSE option to -2 in the configuration file.

Use the following format:

EAT_VERBOSE = -2

Equivalent Administration Console property

No equivalent exists in the NetBackup Administration Console host properties.
