Abstract
A method, program, and system for dynamically configuring logging elements in a computer system are provided. The invention comprises a logging subsystem within the computer system, wherein the subsystem contains a plurality of logging elements which record events within the computer system. Inheritance relationships are established for the logging elements, which allows the logging elements to be configured either individually or as a group. The logging elements are then configured to record specified types of events and send the logging data of the events to specified locations within the computer system. In one embodiment of the present invention, the computer system is one of a plurality of nodes in a distributed computer network, wherein logging elements within a one network node can be remotely configured from a another node in the network.
