Log Event Settings

Categories of log messages are referred to as facilities, and they typically indicate which process submitted a message. Each facility can be assigned a priority, which sets the level at which a log message is triggered. Log events settings consist of a log facility and its priority level.

Five facilities are unique to the ETEP. When messages from these facilities are sent to a syslog server, syslog displays their source as Local 0 - Local 4. Table 96 describes each facility and provides a mapping of the ETEP facility name to its syslog counterpart. The Internals facility consists of several operating system facilities.

Facility

 

Description

Local0/System

Significant system events that are not associated with the other pre-

 

 

defined facilities, including:

 

 

• NTP clock sync successes and failures (informational priority)

 

 

• Appliance software upgrade status (notice priority)

 

 

• ET1000A power supply status changes (informational priority)

 

 

• XML-RPC calls from ETEMS to the ETEP (debug priority)

Local1/Data plane

• Messages about packet processing and encryption

 

 

• PMTU changes (debug priority)

Local 2/DistKey

EncrypTight distributed key functionality, such as rekeys and policy

 

 

deployments (informational priority)

Local 3/PKI

 

Certificate messages

Local 4/SNMP

SNMP messages

Internals

 

Operating system messages for the following Linux facilities: audit,

 

 

auth and authpriv, cron, daemon, kernel, syslog, user.

 

 

Audit log events are associated with a user name. The audit log

 

 

includes events such as the following:

 

 

• Successful and unsuccessful log in attempts

 

 

• Additions and deletions of ETEP user accounts

 

 

• Use of administrator functions, such as appliance configuration

 

 

changes and policy deployments.

 

 

 

The priority determines the amount of information that is recorded for a log facility. When you select a priority for a facility, all messages at that priority and higher are logged; for example a priority of “error”
