Channel containers provide a reference point through which the logging server can locate Channel objects. At startup, the logging server scans its list of Channel containers and loads the included Channel object configurations and their drivers. The drivers and Channel object configurations are then available to provide event notification and log events.
The logging server only loads the Channel objects found in supported Channel containers. Therefore, all Channel containers must be included in this list in order for the logging server to locate their associated Channel objects.
The Channel container in Logging Services is added to this list by default.
IMPORTANT:The logging server scans Application containers only at startup. Therefore, if you add or remove an Application container, you must restart the logging server for the change to take effect. For more information on restarting the logging server, refer to the Novell® Audit Administration Guide.
IMPORTANT: Channel containers cannot be created from the Logging Server Options task. Container objects can only be created from the Object view. For information on creating Container objects, see the iManager online help.
To add a Channel container to the logging server's list of supported Channel containers:
On the Logging Server Options page, click the Channels tab.
Click Container Actions, then select Add Container.
Select a Channel container from the tree.
To move up or down in the tree, click the navigation arrows. You can also search the tree by entering the object name and context in the Search frame.
NOTE: iManager only links valid entries.
The Channel container is added to the list of supported containers.
IMPORTANT: Removing a Channel container from this list does not delete the Channel container or any of its associated objects from the tree. For information on deleting objects from the tree, see the iManager online help.
To remove a Channel container from the logging server's list of supported Channel containers:
On the Logging Server Options page, click the Channels tab.
Select the check box next to the Channel container you want to remove.
Click Container Actions, then select Remove Container.
The Channel container is removed from the list of supported containers.
