STAF does not keep a history of all STAF service requests submitted by
default (as you can submit millions of STAF service requests). But STAF
does provide various tracing facilities to help in auditing and debugging.
STAF externalizes these facilities through trace points. Enabling a
particular trace point causes trace messages to be generated whenever a
particular event occurs, such as a service request being submitted or
completing.
So, you could enable STAF trace points for ServiceRequest and
ServiceComplete for all services. Then, a trace message will be logged in
STAFProc's output for every STAF service request submitted to this
machine, and when each STAF service request completes. Note that enabling
these trace points can result in large quantities of trace messages being
generated if many STAF service requests are submitted so you'll probably
want to redirect STAFProc's trace output to a file (if you aren't
already).
You can enable STAF tracing via the STAF.cfg file on your service host
(then this tracing will be enabled whenever STAFProc is started), or you
can enable/disable STAF tracing dynamically via the TRACE service.
For example, to enable this STAF tracing in your STAF.cfg file on your
service host machine, modify the existing "trace enable tracepoints" line
as follows and add a "trace set destination to file" line, specifying
whatever fully-qualified file name you want as folows:.
trace enable tracepoints "error deprecated ServiceRequest ServiceComplete"
trace set destination to file {STAF/Config/STAFRoot}/STAF.trc
Or, to enable STAF tracing dynamically via the TRACE service for
tracepoints ServiceRequest and ServiceComplete, you could submit the
following request:
STAF servicehost TRACE ENABLE TRACEPOINTS "ServiceRequest ServiceComplete"
To redirect STAF trace output to a file dynamically via the TRACE service,
you could submit the following request:
STAF servicehost TRACE SET DESTINATION TO FILE
{STAF/Config/STAFRoot}/STAF.trc
For more information on the available tracepoints, see section "8.18.2
Trace Points Reference" in the STAF User's Guide.
For more information on the syntax of trace statements in the STAF.cfg
file, see section "4.11 Tracing" in the STAF User's Guide,
For more information on the TRACE service, see section "8.18 Trace
Service" in the STAF User's Guide.

Re: [staf-users] Information about users accessing the services
Hi Sharon,
This is useful command and I can use it to monitor current requests.
Is there a way to look at history of commands issued to the service host?
Thanks
Arvind
