Configuring logging for Micetro Agents on Linux

Follow these instructions to configure logging for the Micetro DNS and DHCP Agents.

DNS Agent

1. After installing the DNS agent, create the logging directory (/var/cache/bind/mmsuite/ in Ubuntu, or specify your own):

   mkdir /var/named/mmsuite/logs/
   

2. Edit the /var/named/mmsuite/preferences.cfg file and add/edit the following:

   <LogFileName value="/var/named/mmsuite/logs/mmremote.log" />
   <LogDestination value="3"/>
   <LogLevel value="5" />
   

   (Amend the directory path as needed.)

3. Restart the DNS Agent:

   systemctl restart mmremoteDHCP Agent
   

DHCP Agent

1. After installing the DHCP agent, create the logging directory (/var/mmsuite/dhcp_server_controller/logs/ or specify your own):

   mkdir /var/mmsuite/dhcp_server_controller/logs/
   

2. Edit the /var/mmsuite/dhcp_server_controller/preferences.cfg file and add/edit the following:

   <LogFileName value="/var/mmsuite/dhcp_server_controller/logs/mmremote.log" />
   <LogDestination value="3"/>
   <LogLevel value="5" />
   

   (Amend the directory path as needed.)

3. Restart the DHCP Agent:

   systemctl restart mmremote
