Managing the Accounting Service and the Authentication and Directory Service 59

Enabling Server

Logging

The files acctxmlconfig.xml (Accounting service) and vcxdataconfig.xml

(Authentication and Directory service) each have a setting to enable

server logging. This is used to control the common logging function,

which is shared with all Tier 2 and Tier 3 devices. This controls the logging

of various status, warning, and error messages in the server. For normal

operation, the default settings might be sufficient, but for trouble

locating purposes, the various error, warning, informational, and tracing

log levels can also be used.

To enable message tracing:

1Log in to the server hosting the service using the root account.

2Stop the service (see Stopping a Service).

3Enter the following command to change directories:

cd /opt/3com/VCX/<schema>/conf

For <schema>, enter acctxml for the Accounting service or enter vcxdata

for the Authentication and Directory service.

4Edit the acctxmlconfig.xml file or the vcxdataconfig.xml file, and enable

server logging.

Example:

<BES_COMMONLOGG_CONFIG>

<LOG_INFO LOG_FILE_PATH ="../log/" LOG_FILE_NAME="AuthServer"

LOG_TO_CONSOLE="Y" LOG_TO_FILE="Y" LOG_TO_SYSTEM = "Y"

LOG_TRACE_ON ="Y" LOG_INFO_ON ="Y" LOG_WARN_ON = "Y"

LOG_ERROR_ON = "Y" LOG_SYSTEM_ON="Y" LOG_TIME_INTERVAL="4"

LOG_TIMESTAT_ON="Y" NUMBER_OF_MSG="1000"/>

5Start the service (see Starting a Service).

The logs are written to the directory that the service is run from:

/opt/3com/VCX/<schema>/log

SNMP Support The SNMP Common Agent, enabled by default, allows back-end server

recognition by SNMP MIB browsers such as Enterprise Management Suite

(EMS). If you suspect the SNMP Common Agent is not enabled, see the

following section, Verifying SNMP Support.
