Troubleshooting: Tracing
Interpreting the Trace File
The trace information is written to the following trace logfile:
❏ Management server trace file:
/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv/trace
❏ HP-UX 10.x and 11.x managed node trace file (refer to Chapter 3 of
the HP OpenView IT/Operations Administrator’s Reference for file
locations on other supported platforms):
/var/opt/OV/tmp/OpC/trace
The general format of the trace information is the following:
<mm/dd/yy> <hh:mm:ss> <process_name>(pid)[<area>]: <detailed
information>
mm/dd/yy date
hh:mm:ss time
process_name process name
pid process ID
area functional area as specified in the trace statement
detailed
information detailed information about the process
NOTE New trace information is appended to existing trace logfiles. It is
therefore recommended to delete the file to prevent it from becoming too
large.
