Overview

MultiExcerptNameEvent Log Mapping

Use the Event Log object to create, configure, disable and enable system and subsystem level log files to capture system, security, debug, packet, trace and accounting events.

Note

Facility 21 and local5 are used by /var/log/fips.log.

 

For each event type, an event class (subsystem) and severity threshold can be configured. Event classes include:

  • Audit
  • Call processing
  • Directory services
  • Network management
  • Policy
  • Resource management
  • Network routing
  • Security
  • Signaling
  • System management
  • Call trace

The ROLLFILE facility provides a means of closing the active log file and opening a new one with an incremented (name) suffix. This facilitates real-time analysis of system events by performing the analysis on closed, rather than opened and growing, files.

 

The Event Log object allows you to create event log filters to capture debug, security, system, trace, and accounting events using following parameters:

  • Filter Admin – Filter configuration for each event log type and event class
  • Filter Status – View filter status per each event log type and event class (using the request command)
  • INFO Level Logging Enable – Re-enable INFO level logging if it becomes disabled due to system congestion
  • Platform Audit Logs – View platform audit logs of administrative, privileged, and security actions
  • Subsystem Admin – Filter configuration for each subsystem
  • Type Admin – Event log for configuration items related to each event log type

Parameter

Description

Mandatory parameters:

filterAdmin

Event Log Class Filter configuration table.

<node name>

SBC node name.

<event type>

The type of event log to configure:

  • audit – System audit data. These files contain a record of all management interactions that modify the state of the system, and includes all the changes made via the CLI and the Netconf interface. These files use .AUD extensions.
  • debug – System debugging data. These files have .DBG extensions.
  • security – Security level events. These files have .SEC extensions.
  • system – System level events. These files have .SYS extensions.
  • trace – System trace data. These files have .TRC extensions.

<event class>

For each event type, configure one of the following event:

  • audit – Audit subsystem.
  • callproc – Call Processing subsystem.
  • directory – Directory Services subsystem.
  • netmgmt – Network Management subsystem.
  • policy – Policy subsystem.
  • resmgmt – Resource Management subsystem.
  • routing – Network Routing subsystem.
  • security – Security subsystem.
  • signaling – Signaling subsystem.
  • sysmgmt – System Management subsystem.
  • trace – Call Trace subsystem.

level

Minimum severity level threshold for event logging:

  • critical – log only critical events.
  • info – log all events.
  • major – log major and critical events.
  • minor – log all events other than info.
  • noevents – do not log any events.
Note

 Info level logs which are traps or faults are always reported in the system logs.

state

Administrative state of event logging for this event type. Set to “on” if filter entry should take precedence over per-node settings.

  • off (default) – Logging is not activated.
  • on – Logging is activated.

InfoLevelLoggingEnable
InfoLevelLoggingEnable
INFO Level Logging Enable

The active and standby SBC are designed to turn off INFO level logging if the system becomes congested. The "request oam eventLog infoLevelLoggingEnable clearInfoLevelLoggingDisabled" command is used to re-enable INFO level logging once it is disabled. See sonusCpEventLogInfoLevelLoggingDisabledNotfication - MAJOR for associated trap details.

To view INFO LEVEL LOGGING DISABLED state, run the following command.

1Type Admin Event Log Parameters (set command)

 

Parameter

Length/Range

Description

typeAdmin

N/A

Event Log configuration table for configuration items related to each Event Log type.

<event_type>

N/A

Specifies the type of event log being configured:

  • acct – System account data. These files have .ACT extensions.
  • audit – System audit data. These files contain a record of all management interactions that modify the state of the system. These files have .AUD extensions. It  includes   all the changes made via the CLI and the Netconf interface. (This attribute is only available to an Administrator)
  • debug – System debugging data. These files have .DBG extensions.
  • packet – Packet information details. These files have .PKT extensions. If enabled, stores the packet details to .PKT files.
  • security – Security level events. These files have .SEC extensions. (This attribute is only available to an Administrator)
  • system – System   level events. These files have .SYS extensions.
  • trace – System trace data. These files have .TRC extensions.
Note

Syslog is not supported for acct and packet event types.

fileCount

1-1024

Specifies the number of event log files that will be maintained for this event type. (default = 32).

fileSize

256-65535

Maximum size (in KB) that a single event log file will ever grow to. (default = 2048).

fileWriteMode

N/A

Event log NFS write mode. Options are:

  • default – Log data is written as a 1344-byte packet.
  • optimize – Log data is written as a 8000-byte packet. Optimize write mode results in IP fragmentation but yields better throughput.

filterLevel

N/A

Events that are at least as severe as the designated level will be logged. Options are:

  • critical – log only events of this threshold.
  • info – log every possible event.
  • major – log major and critical events only.
  • minor – log all events other than information.
  • noevents – do not log any events.
Note
The command to set the filterLevel for the acct event type is no longer applicable.

renameOpenFiles

N/A

Enable this flag to append an ".OPEN" extension to accounting and files which are open for writing.

  • disabled (default)
  • enabled
Note

You must enable the global callTrace signalingPacketCapture parameter (set state to "enable") to capture SIP and H.323 packets (see Call Trace - CLI for configuration details).

Once signalingPacketCapture is enabled, any subsequent changes to SBC device configurations or filter information will not be available to signaling packet captures until signalingPacketCapture is reset (state is disabled, and then re-enabled).

rolloverAction

N/A

Event log rollover actions. Options are:

  • start – Start rollover action
  • stop – Stop rollover action

rolloverInterval

0-31536000

Event log rollover interval, in seconds.

rolloverStartTime

rolloverType

N/A

Event log rollover type. Options are:

  • nonrepetitive (default) – The rollover will occur once at the specified single instance.
  • repetitive – The rollover will occur repeatedly at the specified intervals.

saveTo

N/A

Use flag to specify that the events are saved to disk or not saved.

  • disk (default)
  • none

state

N/A

Specifies the requested state of the given Event Log type.

  • disabled – Logging is not activated.
  • enabled – (default) Logging is activated.

The remote host where the messages are written to the syslog.

syslogRemotePort

1-65535

Specifies the port to use to send messages to the remote syslog. Default value is 514.

The protocol to use to send messages to the remote syslog. Options are:

  • relp
  • tcp (default)
  • udp

syslogState

N/A

Enable flag to log events of specified type to syslog.

To configure event log type “packet” by setting file count to “1”, maximum file size to 256 KB, roll-over interval to 2 seconds, and then enabling the event log but disabling the logging of events to syslog:

Code Block
languagenone
% set oam eventLog typeAdmin system fileCount 1 fileSize 256 rolloverInterval 2 state enabled syslogState disabled
% show oam eventLog typeAdmin system
   state enabled;
   fileCount 1;
   fileSize 256;
   rolloverInterval 2;
   syslogState disabled;

Code Block
languagenone
% request oam eventLog typeAdmin system rolloverLogNow
