Setting Log Preferences

You can set up log preferences so the Server Diagnostics test logs are saved to a file at
a location you choose. Server Diagnostics test logs are created when you start a Server
Diagnostics session.

When Server Diagnostics Mac OS X saves a log, it overwrites any log of the same name.
Log preferences can customize the name of the log file so that the log files aren’t
overwritten.

If you don’t use any naming options, the log is saved as:

AppleServerDiagnostics_serialnumber_mode_autosave_log.txt

If you’re testing locally, mode is replaced by “local.” If you’re testing remotely, mode is
replaced by “remote.”

If you use all naming options, the log is saved as:

AppleServerDiagnostics_serialnumber_mode_autosave_log_date_ethernetMACaddress
uniquename.
txt

The appended values use this format:

Value

Format

Example

date

DD_Mon_Year

15_Jul_2010

ethernetMACaddress

##_##_##_##_##_##

01_23_45_67_89_ab

uniquename

- #

- 1

The unique name is appended only if a file with the same name exists.

A log for the local server with all naming options enabled (using the example values)
is saved as:

AppleServerDiagnostics_AB12345CD6E_local_autosave_log_15_
Jul_2010_01_23_45_67_89_ab - 1.txt
