Method and system for configuring a network computer to distinguish between a first address path for a first logging module and a second address path for a second logging module for a log report, using full distinguished names (FDNs) that provide first and second address paths for the first and second logging modules, where the first and second address paths have different object level addresses at an object level immediately below the root level. Where a local distinguished name (LDN) (or relative distinguished name RDN) is used for an address path, the system forwards a log report to an associated Log Server only if the first component of the address path is a selected object level address, such as '/system'.

Independent log containment hierarchy

A method of and system for control of access to add an event notification as a log record in a computer system. Each potential log record is associated with one or more logs, each of which has one or more log owners. Grant of access to add a log record to the information in a particular log is restricted to the owner(s) of that log. A list of owners of a log can be changed from time to time, based upon present circumstances or the presence of special conditions.

Domain access control for logging systems

A network management information logging system for use in connection with logging management information for a network includes a repository, at least one work queue, a plurality of logging components and a log server main component. The repository configured to store management information for the network. The &ldquo;at least one&rdquo; work queue receives logging requests to be processed. Each of the plurality of logging components retrieves logging requests from the work queue, processes the retrieved logging requests in connection with logging information in the repository, and to generate logging responses responsive thereto. The log server main component receives logging requests from the network and loads them into the work queue for retrieval and processing by the logging components. In addition, the log server main component receives the logging responses from the logging components and transfers them to the network. In one embodiment, the logging coponents and the log server main component are both in the form of threads.
