The configuration file, ctsysm.cfg, contains server messages classified by the server subsystems that generate the log entries, the recommended actions, and details for each message. The configuration file is simply a text file, an abbreviated copy of which is shown later in this document. The configuration file can be used as-is, although some of the default recommended actions are general and administrators may want to customize these.
The subsystem list consists of entries in this format:
<subsystem_keyword> <subsystem_description>
The action list consists of entries in this format:
<action_keyword> <action_description>
The messages are in the following format:
<code> <subsystem> <action> <num_lines> <text>
where <code> is a 5-character code beginning with a message type and followed by a 4-digit message number (for example, E0001). Possible message codes include:
Because the configuration file is a text file separate from the server executable, it can easily be updated as new or application-specific information about specific messages becomes available, without having to update the server executable.
