Procedure 7.1. Change Resolution Logging on a Running Broker

1. Edit the file /etc/qpid/qpidd.conf and add the following:

   log-time=1
   log-enable=info+
   log-to-file=/var/lib/qpidd/771830.log

2. Launch qpid-tool.
3. Now that you are running qpid-tool, issue the following command:

   list broker

   You might have to do this a few times before receiving an answer. It can take a while to get all the info from the broker.
4. When you see a response similar to this:

   114  14:03:39  -          amqp-broker

   Use the number (in this example "114") to refer to the broker.
5. Issue the following command, substituting the appropriate number for your broker:

   call 114 setLogHiresTimestamp 1

6. Now look at the log file /var/lib/qpidd/771830.log and verify that it has started using highres time stamps. You might need to do something to get the broker to log a few more lines, for example start another qpid-tool.
7. To return the logging to the normal resolution, issue the following command in qpid-tool:

   call 114 setLogHiresTimestamp 0

8. Now look at the logfile again, and verify that it has stopped using highres.
