Environment variables

These environment variables are used by Dynamic System Analysis:

DSA_INCLUDE
Specifies one or more plug-ins that are to be included when collectall is run. Separate the plug-ins by a space, comma, or semicolon. Use the base plug-in name (for example, Ddinfo;installedapps).
Tip:
  • The plug-in names are displayed when collection occurs.
  • The DSA_INCLUDE and DSA_EXCLUDE variables are mutually exclusive.
  • To reset the effect of this environmental variables, set empty values to the variables (for example, DSA_INCLUDE=).
Attention: Do not change this environment variable. This variable is used for debugging and is intended for use only by IBM technical support.
DSA_EXCLUDE
Specifies one or more plug-ins that are to be excluded when collectall is run. Separate the plug-ins by a space, comma, or semicolon. Use the base plug-in name (for example, Ddinfo;installedapps).
Tips:
  • The plug-in names are displayed when collection occurs.
  • The DSA_INCLUDE and DSA_EXCLUDE variables are mutually exclusive.
  • To reset the effect of this environmental variables, set empty values to the variables (for example, DSA_INCLUDE=).
Attention: Do not change this environment variable. This variable is used for debugging and is intended for use only by IBM technical support.
DSA_LOGLEVEL
Indicates the level of detail requested for logging. You can specify one of these values:
  • 0: Error
  • 1: Warning
  • 2: Status
  • 3: Debug
  • 4: Verbose
Attention: Do not change this environment variable. This variable is used for debugging and is intended for use only by IBM technical support.
DSA_LOGFILE
Specifies the path and file name for the DSA event log.
Important:
  • The path must exist on the local system on which DSA is running.
  • If this variable is not defined, logging may be lost.
DSA_EVENTLOG_MAX
Specifies the maximum number of entries collected from each system event log. The value must be a positive integer with six or fewer digits. The default value is 5000.
