Data Transformation Logs
The monitoring information for Data Transformation activity is recorded in three places:
- 
The Message Logs window on Windows. 
- 
C:\ProgramData\Vormetric\DataSecurityExpert\agent\log\vordxf_path_usr.log
- 
C:\ProgramData\Vormetric\DataSecurityExpert\agent\log\dataxform_status-gpanddataxform_status_alt-gpfiles
The logs contain the following log levels:
| Log Level | Description | 
|---|---|
| ALL | Turn on all logging | 
| TRACE | Finer-grained information than DEBUG | 
| DEBUG | Fine-grained informational events; used to debug | 
| INFO | Informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level. | 
| WARN | Designates potentially harmful situations | 
| ERROR | Designates error events that might still allow the application to continue running. | 
| FATAL | Severe error events that will presumably lead the application to abort | 
| OFF | Turn off all logging | 
There are two log level command line options that change the dataxform logging.
- 
Application Level Log --applog_level: Overrides what is sent by the key manager. This affects the log files that reside in/var/log/vormetric/vordxf. Defaults to the log level to which VMD logging is set.
- 
Console Level Log --console_level: Affects the logging sent to the console (terminal). Defaults to INFO. For--helpthe console level cannot be FATAL or OFF. If so, no help is displayed.

Response
Checking if /gp/nfs is a guard point with a rekey policy applied
The kernel component doesn't support data transform on /gp/nfs
Verify this is a guard point with valid data transformation policy, and check the system log files for any other problems. It may be due to one or more of
following reasons; 1.policy has no valid key rule(s), and/or 2. policy has no key_op rule, and/or 3. policy has valid permit rule(s), and/or 4. policy rule
that contains key_op in the action field also specifies other actions.
