Monitoring GDS

You can monitor GDS by displaying directory system status information with the GDS interface or by using the trace system to log directory processes.

The GDS interface allows you to do the following:

· Display directory system status information, which shows if a directory is active or inactive, what processes are available, how many processes are available, and if the trace system is active or inactive.

· Activate the trace system, which starts the trace system for logging directory processes.

· Deactivate (or stop) the trace system.

For more information on these functions, see the OSF DCE GDS Administration Guide and Reference.

GDS maintains log files for each of the following processes:

· The DUA process

· The Cache process

· The Client-stub process

· The Server-stub processes

· The DSA processes

· The GDS system administration process

· The Monitoring process

For more information on the location, contents, and creation of log files, see the OSF DCE GDS Administration Guide and Reference.
