Tracing an alarm from a probe through a robot

Issue/Introduction

I did not get an alarm from a probe. I am trying to determine if it left the robot. 

Environment

Release : Any

Component : UIM - robot

Resolution

Moving forward this can be checked via the following:

-set spooler on the systems to:

loglevel=3
logsize=30000

This is where we will actually see the alarms being posted.

Also it will show that the message was sent to the upstream hub:

May 24 15:59:21:147 [4292] 2 spooler: FlushMessages - out-queue empty but in-queue contains 1 records - switch queues 
May 24 15:59:21:149 [4292] 3 spooler: FlushMessages - out-queue is empty - done
May 24 15:59:21:149 [4292] 1 spooler: FlushMessages -    1 messages sent to <primary_hub_IP>:48001

Additional Information

You may also want to set the alarming probe to loglevel=5 to capture the alarm there as well.
