Debug Event Log Overview



The SBC records the maximum number of Debug Event logs, which can potentially cause memory to become congested resulting in unexpected or undesirable SBC performance.

If using INFO filter level is needed for troubleshooting, the SBC triggers the alarm sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification any time the Debug Event Log filter level is set to INFO as a reminder of potential memory congestion due to the accumulation of a large number of Debug Event logs in memory. The alarm includes a warning message to set the filter level to MAJOR. The alarm is enabled or disabled using both CLI and EMA

When the filter level is set to INFO, the following events occur:

  • The SBC generates the alarm sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification every five minutes.
  • The SBC generates a warning message Debug Event Log filter level is set to INFO. Set to MAJOR if finished troubleshooting on the last modified Debug Event Log file.

Once the troubleshooting is completed, set the filter level to MAJOR. The alarms are cleared when the filter level is set to MAJOR.

When the filter level is changed, the clear alarm sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoClearNotification is triggered and a message Debug Event Log filter level is no longer set to INFO is displayed in the log file.


Troubleshooting the SBC using Debug Event Logs

To troubleshoot the SBC and to avoid running out of hard drive space:

  1. Check if the sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification alarm is enabled. By default, this alarm is enabled.

    show table oam traps admin sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification state

state enabled;

    If it is disabled, enable the sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification alarm by executing the following command:

    % set oam traps admin sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification state enabled

% commit

  2. Set the filter level of the .DBG files to INFO.

    % set oam eventLog typeAdmin debug filterLevel info

% commit

  3. To inspect the debug log files, navigate to the /var/log/sonus/evlog directory. Check for the files with the .DBG extension.

  4. Check whether the alarm is triggered (optional):

    1. Open the .DBG file with the latest timestamp. List of MAJOR events followed by the list of INFO events are seen. The last Major event has the following description:
      Debug Event Log filter level is set to INFO. Set to MAJOR if finished troubleshooting.
      A sample of a .DBG file is shown below:
