The Notification System can produce trace messages in sysman/log/emoms.trc file.

Tracing is configured by setting the log4j.category.oracle.sysman.em.notification property flag using the emctl set property command. You can set the trace level to INFO, WARN, DEBUG. For example,

emctl set property -name log4j.category.oracle.sysman.em.notification -value
DEBUG -module logging

Note: The system will prompt you for the SYSMAN password.

Trace messages contain the string "em.notification". If you are working in a UNIX environment, you can search for messages in the emoms.trc and emoms_pbs.trc files using the grep command. For example,

grep em.notification emoms.trc emoms_pbs.trc

What to look for in the trace file.

The following entries in the emoms.trc file are relevant to notifications.
