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.

Accounting22local6
Platform Audit Logs23local7

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.
