Working with the Application Log

ETEMS Troubleshooting

The application log provides information about significant events and failures with EncrypTight. The application log captures events specific to ETEMS and ETPM and their interaction with appliances. The user ID associated with an event is recorded in the log.

The following types of events are recorded in the EncrypTight application log:

●Successful and failed attempts to log in to the EncrypTight application

●Communication attempts with the appliance: pushing configurations, status refreshes, reboot requests, software upgrades, FTP file transfers

●Appliance additions or deletions from ETEMS

●Changes to ETEMS Preferences

●Telnet, SSH, or web interface connections to an appliance

●Communication failures between ETEMS and the appliance (unable to log in, connection timed out, connection refused). See “Possible Problems and Solutions” on page 223 for suggested solutions to these problems.

●Runtime exceptions, which occur when incorrect or corrupted data is sent by ETEMS, ETPM, or the appliance. Contact customer support if you receive an error of this type.

EncrypTight provides several options for viewing application log events. You can view log events from within EncrypTight, configure EncrypTight to send log events to a syslog server, or export the log as a text file.

The EncrypTight application log is different from the appliance log, which captures events about the operation of a particular appliance. To learn how to retrieve and view appliance logs, see “Retrieving Appliance Log Files” on page 228.
