Debug Event Log Overview

Overview

The SBC is enhanced to trigger the alarm sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification, when the filter level for Debug Event Log is set to INFO. The alarm is enabled or disabled using both CLI and EMA.

The number of records stored in the Debug Event Logs are determined by the configured event log filter levels. The SBC records the

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.

   Code Block
   language text
   show table oam traps admin sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification state state enabled;

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

   Code Block
   language text
   % set oam traps admin sonusCpEventLogFileDebugLevelInfoNotification state enabled % commit

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

   Code Block
   language text
   % set oam eventLog typeAdmin debug filterLevel info % commit

3. To inspect the debug log files, log on to the SBC as root and 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:
