The Channels screen lists all the Channel containers and associated Channel objects supported by the current logging server.
Channel containers provide a reference point through which the logging server can locate Channel objects. Channel containers must be included in this list for the logging server to locate their associated Channel objects. Only the Channel container in Logging Services is added to this list by default; any other Channel containers must be added manually.
IMPORTANT: The logging server only scans these containers at startup. Therefore, if you make changes in the Channels screen (such as adding a new Channel container, creating or editing a Channel object, and so forth), you must restart the logging server to incorporate the changes. For more information on restarting the logging server, refer to the Novell Nsure Audit Administration Guide.

Status |
The Status column indicates whether a Channel object is enabled By default, all Channel objects are enabled. This means that the logging server loads the Channel objects configuration in memory at startup. If a Channel object is disabled, the logging server does not load that objects configuration in memory at startup. To change a Channel object's status, modify the object's Status property. For more information, see Configuring Channel Objects.

Add Container |
Adds an existing Channel container to the logging server's list of supported contasiners. Adding a container means that the logging server scan that container for Channel objects at startup. IMPORTANT: The logging server only scans Channel containers at startup. Therefore, if you add a container, you must restart the server for the change to take effect. IMPORTANT: You cannot create a Channel container in this dialog; you can only add existing containers to the logging server's list of supported containers. For information on creating containers, see the iManager online help. For more information on adding a Channel container, see Adding and Removing Channel Containers.

Removing a container means that the logging server no longer scans that container for Channel objects at startup. Removing a Channel container from the list does not delete the container or any of its associated objects. IMPORTANT: The logging server only scans Channel containers at startup. Therefore, if you remove a container, you must restart the server for the change to take effect. IMPORTANT: You cannot delete a Channel container in this dialog; you can only remove the container from the logging server's list of supported containers. For information on deleting containers, see the iManager online help. For more information on removing a Channel container, see Adding and Removing Channel Containers.

New Channel |
Creates a new Channel object in the selected container. IMPORTANT: The logging server only scans Channel containers for Channel objects at startup. Therefore, if you create a new Channel object, you must restart the logging server for the change to take effect. For more information on creating Channel objects, see Creating and Configuring Channel Objects.
|
Edit Channel |
Allows you to modify the selected Channel object's configuration. IMPORTANT: The logging server only scans Channel containers for Channel objects at startup. Therefore, if you edit a Channel object, you must restart the logging server for the change to take effect. For more information on editing Channel objects, see Configuring Channel Objects.
