SDL Licensing Server Manager logging features (Part 2)

Enable the SafeNet extended logging...

The new SDL Licensing Server Manager finally enables you to retrieve more information from a logging and monitoring perspective compared to the previous one. In this post you find information about the SafeNet extended logging. If you need/want to generate a Monitoring Report, refer to SDL Licensing Server Manager logging features (Part 1).

 

Download, unzip and execute the Activate logging.exe

 

It will add in the Registry a Key and a String Value with the necessary data to set the Environmental Variables for the logging and also creates a dedicated folder where the log files are stored.

 

The Registry Key and new string value is to be found here:

  • For 32bit OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rainbow Technologies\SentinelLM\CurrentVersion
  • For 64bit OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Rainbow Technologies\SentinelLM\CurrentVersion

The attributes within the String value have following meaning:

  • -s = Path to license file/information e.g. C:\Program Files\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT\lservrc\
  • -f = Path and file for Trace Log e.g. C:\SafeNetLogging\Tracing.log
  • -tr 7 = Level of tracing information to be retrieved. Set by default to 7
  • -lfe 1 = Level of encryption of the log content. Set by default to 1 (fully visible).
  • -l = Path and file for Trace Log e.g. C:\SafeNetLogging\Extended-Logging.log
  • -extended-log = Combine with -l to have all information logged.

 

The folder for the log files is named SafeNetLogging and can be found here:

  • Path: C:\SafeNetLogging

Log files

When you open the log files they might be not telling you anything but it is containing information that allows you or the SDL Support Teams to analyse several aspects.

Extended Log

The generated Extended-Logging.log that you can find by default in C:\SafeNetLogging will provide information about:

Tracing Log

The Tracing.log is capturing low-level operations about the SDL Licensing Server Manager. This is useful in diagnosing the conditions when errors are encountered on the SDL Licensing Server Manager. Passing the Tracing.log to the SDL Support Teams will enable application debugging and providing possible troubleshooting steps.

If the log files are not helping you or you simply cannot figure out if there is any information that might be pointing to a problem then contact the SDL Support Team through the SDL Gateway Support Portal
