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
  • Platform Rsyslog
  • 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.

For more information on SBC's support for remote syslog servers and the supported log types, refer to Supported Log Types.

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
  • Memory Usage – Measure memory usage of each process
  • Platform Audit Logs – View platform audit logs of administrative, privileged, and security actions
  • Platform Rsyslog – Method of sending event messages to a syslog server.
  • Subsystem Admin – Filter configuration for each subsystem
  • Type Admin – Event log for configuration items related to each event log type

Rsyslog
Rsyslog
Platform Rsyslog

Use Rsyslog to configure a remote server IP address, port, and protocol type to push platform logs of administrative, privileged, and security actions to a remote server.

When platformRsyslog is enabled, the /etc/rsyslog.conf file is configured to send the configured platform logs to the remote syslog server. The remote server's /etc/rsyslog.conf file must match the configuration of the SBC to receive platform logs. The SBC automatically adds an Access Control List (ACL) rule to send the audit logs through the application layer to the remote server.

 

Info

The following logs will not be supported: Monit, Mail, Printer, dpkg and the /var/log/messages file.

Info
titleNote
The ACL rule is removed automatically from the default ACL rules when platformRsyslog is disabled.
Info
titleNote

For a High Availability (HA) pair, the /etc/rsyslog.conf file is updated both on the Active and the Standby SBCs to push the audit logs to the remote server.

Command Syntax

To create a new Server configuration table:

Code Block
set oam eventLog platformRsyslog servers server<no> remoteHost<host_ip> protocolType<protocol> port <port>

 

Command Parameters

The syslog ACL rules are added and removed by enabling/disabling syslogState and configuring the syslog log fields.

Info
titleNote

To guard against overlogging, the SBC logs up to 4,294,976,295 messages per second in the event logs (configurable with set oam eventLog typeAdmin system diskThrottleLimit), but additional event messages above that threshold are discarded. If log events must be discarded, the SBC writes an error message about the skipped messages in the system (.SYS) log.

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.
  • memusage – Process heap memory usage data. These files have .MEM 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.

diskThrottleLimit

0-4294976295

Specifies the limit on INFO level messages logged to the disk in one second. A value of 0 disables the limit. The default value is 5000.

Note: For the trace log, if tracing is being performed to capture all of the SIP PDU for all of the calls on the system for use in conjunction with Ribbon Protect, then this value needs to be tuned to accommodate the maximum call load anticipated for the SBC instance. For example, for a call rate of 1350 cps and assuming 14 messages in a basic SIP call (ingress and egress legs), it would require a total of 18,900 messages. Adding this to the default 5000, the recommendation in this case would be to set the limit at 25,000.

eventLogValidation N/A

Specifies whether the logs at rest for this log type should be cryptographically hashed.

Hashing is only recommended for the security and audit logs. These are the main logs required to triage security issues and do not roll very frequently. Hashing must be disabled for logs that are rolling over frequently as would occur for the trace log if the call rate is 1350 cps and it is being used to capture all SIP PDU's for use with Ribbon Protect.

If logs are being exported using Rsyslog then there is no need to enable Event Log Validation as the logs are copied off the SBC before they could be modified. Refer to OAM - Event Log - Platform Rsyslog.

  • disabled (default)
  • enabled

IMPORTANT: You must disable this control for any logs which are rolling at a very high rate (e.g. capturing trace logs of all SIP PDUs for use with Ribbon Protect).

Hash Notes:

  • Hashes are stored in /.../evlog/eventLogValidation/
  • The hash file name format is <evLogfilename>.hash.<keyName>
  • Hashes must be retrieved using SFTP 

fileCount

1-2048

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).

Note: Set the file size to 65535 for trace and account logs when attempting to trace all calls on the system for use with Ribbon Protect.

fileWriteMode

N/A

Event log NFS write mode. 

  • 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

Logs every possible event.

messageQueueSize

2-100

The number of event log message entries to buffer before writing to disk. (default = 10).  If capturing all of the SIP PDU messages in the trace log for use with Ribbon Protect, set this value to 100 for the trace log.

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 (Refer to 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.

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

rolloverInterval

0-31536000

Event log rollover interval, in seconds.

rolloverStartTime

N/A

Specifies the start time for event log rollover. The format is CCYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS. For example: 2010-01-01T01:01:01

rolloverType

N/A

Event log rollover type. 

  • 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.
  • rollfile

 Accounting logs cannot be disabled.

serversN/A

Configure a remote Rsyslog Server for a single log type:

  • syslogRemoteHost – (0-255) The remote host where the messages are written to the syslog.
  • syslogRemotePort – (1-65,535) Specifies the port to use to send messages to the remote syslog. Default value is 514.
  • syslogRemoteProtocol – The protocol to use to send messages to the remote syslog.
    • relp
    • tcp (default)
    • udp

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;

 

To send the command to request an immediate roll-over:

Code Block
languagenone
% request oam eventLog typeAdmin system rolloverLogNow

 

To display typeAdmin event log details. It has been shortened for brevity.

Code Block
languagenone
% show details oam eventLog typeAdmin
