Audit
logging
Audit logging relates to the
architecture
of an
Global
Manager Administration Console (Global Console) interacting with
analysis servers
such as
IP Availability Manager
and Performance Manager (IP AM/PM).Audit logging is enabled
on the analysis servers when a modification is made to the server
using the Global Console. Chapter 5, Audit Logging, in the
provides information on the audit logging format, how to configure
audit logging, how to start the audit log adapter, and the list of
user actions captured in audit logs.
In raw format, the audit
log output on each server contains specific remote API calls made
from the Global Console to the server. The raw output is then processed
by the
Audit
Log Adapter which parses the output to provide more easily readable
and understandable audit log information.
Raw audit log output
shows the creation of raw audit log information.
The Global Consoles connect to
analysis servers, such as IP AM or PM. These servers
print information to a file named
<server_name>_audit.log
for all remote API calls sent from the Global Console to the server.
Each server maintains one log file regardless of the number of connected
Global Consoles. You must run one Audit Log Adapter per server and
the Audit Log Adapter must be run on the same host as the server whose
audit log it will parse.
