Abstract

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’.
