Overview

The SBC Core supports multiple event log types. The two most applicable SBC security-related event log types are the Security and Audit logs.

  • Security logs include IP Policer alarms and failed login attempts.
  • Audit logs include login and logout information, plus any configuration changes executed.

Sonus recommends setting the Filter Level for those two event types to Info-level logging for maximum security visibility.

The SBC stores up to 512 records for each of the above log types.

 

To view and/or filter Platform and Event audit logs, login to the EMA and navigate to Troubleshooting > Troubleshooting Tools > Search Audit Logs. The Audit Logs window displays.

 

The Audit Logs are 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 EMA, EMS and CLI interfaces. These files use .AUD extensions. The logs are generated and stored at Log Management.

From the EMA main screen, navigate to Troubleshooting > Troubleshooting Tools >Search Audit Logs. The Search Audit Log window is displayed.
