Configuration
This chapter shows how to check and change the configuration of Lenovo XCC Logger Utility.
By default, a configuration file called "config.ini" is created in the installation directory, which may have the following content:
[xcc] ipaddr = 169.254.95.118 username = xcclogger [report] severity_ok = true severity_warning = true severity_critical = true severity_others = true platformlog = true auditlog = true activelog = true maintenancelog = true salog = true format_string = [%Created%][%EventId%][%Severity%][%Name%] %Message% |
"xcc - ipaddr" is the IP address of the virtual network device of Ethernet-over-USB feature.
It is acquired automatically from XCC during the installation.
- It is not recommended to change it manually except when user needs to get the events from another network address.NoteThe credential saved or used for reporting must belong to the same XCC that the IP address directs.
"xcc - username" is the username of XCC account.
By default, it will be "xcclogger" and this account will be automatically created or renewed by Lenovo XCC Logger Utility during installation.
If manually initialization is performed after installation and another username is specified by parameter "-U", that username will be stored here.
It should not be changed manually otherwise the credential may become invalid.
"report - severity_ok", "report - severity_warning", "report - severity_critical" and "report - severity_others" indicate whether the event with the specified level should be reported. If set to false, they will be suppressed and not reported.
“platformlog”, “auditlog”, “activelog”, “maintenancelog” and “salog” indicate whether the event with the specified category should be reported. If set to false, they will be suppressed and not reported.
"report - format_string" can be used to customize the event message. The keyword surrounded by "%" will be replaced with the corresponding string in the event content.
