There is a file in sys:\system\health.log .
This file is allways growing with the same message.
After 2 week the file is about 25 MB big.

It is a part of NetWare Remote Manager.

Used to view all changes in the health status of the server. Using this log combined with several of the health statistics and trend reports can be useful in diagnosing server problems.

Go to

http://serverip:8008

and login using full context.

You can clear the log file here.

I'm not sure if there is a way to just disable it, but I can let you know if I find a way to do so.

I use a check list when I visit my sys admin accounts. Part of it is to check and clear that health log. I don't try to disable it so if a problem comes up, I have the tools to help me figure out whats going on.

Very many thanks for that.

However do you happen to know what 'LAN Traffic on server ??? was in a BAD State' 'LAN Traffic on server ??? was in a GOOD State' means?

These lines are added to the log sometimes every second.

Thanks.

It means the threshold LAN traffic is set to is being reached. This is traffic on the network. Doesn't really mean something is BAD, so there is no need to spank the server. Just means the threshold was reached, the server let you know about it, and you look into it if needed. In many cases, you just increase the threshold if the traffic is normal.

Head up to

http://www.novell.com/documentation/

and read up on Remote Manager. It's a kewl little tool, and it can be usless. You may want to just trun the reporting off if you donj't think you will ever use it.
