Logging Levels for Cognos Audit Data

[cognos05]

Hi,

I have set the following properties to my logging properties of cognos dispatcher .
Audit logging level for batch report service – Request
Audit logging level for Content Manager Service – Request
Audit logging level for the dispatcher – Request
Audit logging level for event management service – Request
Audit logging level for report service – Request
Audit logging level for report data service – Request
Audit logging level for system service – Request

And all the rest logging are set as minimum which i think is default .

All information I need from audit is only the user logon times .

So can i change any of the logging levels to basic, because i think some memory will be consumed while writing logs .

Can anyone let me know what is minimum setting that I need to use to achieve this.

Thanks,
Nithya

Hi,

Take a look at the documentation below:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_10.2.2/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cra.10.2.2.doc/c_logginglevels.html

You can see from this that Basic logging level includes User Account Management and Runtime Usage. This appears to be all you need?

Cheers!

Hi

Regarding logging levels, are these only set by each individual Service?  Is there a way of making the whole of logging Basic from Minimal?

Thank you

Hi,

No - that would be very unwise, so there's no option to allow it. The more services you have with logging enabled, the higher the load on the system. Just enable logging for the services you require.
