Configuring and Enabling Event Logging
TDV has a number of mechanisms to help you control the logging of system events. The Event Generation configuration parameters specify where events of each type are recorded. The event types are grouped as follows:
• Cache events
• Cluster events
• Data source events
• Request events
• Resource events
• Security events
• Session events
• Storage events
• System overview events
• Transaction events
• Trigger events
Each group of events has its own Enable <group_name> Events configuration parameter, which you must set to True for that group of events to be recorded. This is in addition to setting the overall Enable System Events configuration parameter to True.
For each event type, you can specify one or more places where the event is recorded or handled. Currently supported event filters include:
• DB—Event sent to database only.
• LOG—Event sent to event log file only.
• SNMP—Event sent to SNMP processor only.
• ALL—Event sent to database, event log, SNMP processor, and custom event handler.
• NONE—Event ignored.
Use commas to separate multiple choices. Multiple choices cannot include ALL or NONE.
This section focuses on the configuration parameters you can use to control logging. Other logging-related features and where they are documented are listed in the table below.
Logging Feature | Purpose | Where Documented |
Studio logging option | Enable additional logging of Studio activities to the <TDV_install_dir>/logs/cs_studio.log file for debugging purposes. | TDV User Guide |
Monitoring system events | In both Manager and Studio Manager, you can view and monitor system events. | |

Documentation about event logging is included throughout the TDV documentation set. For example:
• Cache events—TDV User Guide
• System events and triggers—TDV User Guide
