APPLICATION SUMMARY

The SASL Application

DESCRIPTION

This section describes the SASL application which provides the following services:

The SASL application also includes error_logger event handlers for formatting SASL error and crash reports.

Error Logger Event Handlers

The following error logger event handlers are defined in the SASL application.

sasl_report_tty_h
Formats and writes supervisor reports, crash reports and progress reports to stdio.
sasl_report_file_h
Formats and writes supervisor reports, crash report and progress report to a single file.
error_logger_mf_h
This error logger writes all events sent to the error logger to disk. It installs the log_mf_h event handler in the error_logger process.

Configuration

The following configuration parameters are defined for the SASL application. See app(4) for more information about configuration parameters:

sasl_error_logger = Value <optional>
Value is one of:
tty
Installs sasl_report_tty_h in the error logger. This is the default option.
{file,FileName}
Installs sasl_report_file_h in the error logger. This makes all reports go to the file FileName. FileName is a string.
false
No SASL error logger handler is installed.
errlog_type = error | progress | all <optional>
Restricts the error logging performed by the specified sasl_error_logger to error reports, progress reports, or both. Default is all.
error_logger_mf_dir = string() | false<optional>
Specifies in which directory the files are stored. If this parameter is undefined or false, the error_logger_mf_h is not installed.
error_logger_mf_maxbytes = integer() <optional>
Specifies how large each individual file can be. If this parameter is undefined, the error_logger_mf_h is not installed.
error_logger_mf_maxfiles = 0<integer()<256 <optional>
Specifies how many files are used. If this parameter is undefined, the error_logger_mf_h is not installed.
overload_max_intensity = float() > 0 <optional>
Specifies the maximum intensity for overload. Default is 0.8.
overload_weight = float() > 0 <optional>
Specifies the overload weight. Default is 0.1.
start_prg = string() <optional>
Specifies which program should be used when restarting the system. Default is $OTP_ROOT/bin/start.
masters = [atom()] <optional>
Specifies which nodes this node uses to read/write release information. This parameter is ignored if the client_directory parameter is not set.
client_directory = string() <optional>
This parameter specifies the client directory at the master nodes. Refer to Release Handling in OTP Design Principles for more information. This parameter is ignored if the masters parameter is not set.
static_emulator = true | false <optional>
Indicates if the Erlang emulator is statically installed. A node with a static emulator cannot switch dynamically to a new emulator as the executable files are written into memory statically. This parameter is ignored if the masters and client_directory parameters are not set.
releases_dir = string() <optional>
Indicates where the releases directory is located. The release handler writes all its files to this directory. If this parameter is not set, the OS environment parameter RELDIR is used. By default, this is $OTP_ROOT/releases.
utc_log = true | false <optional>
If set to true, all dates in textual log outputs are displayed in Universal Coordinated Time with the string UTC appended.
