Option Description
Configure Log Category
Log Severity Use the list box to select the severity level for diagnostic logging categories.
(For audit and accounting categories, there is only one severity, NOTICE,
which cannot be modified.) Valid options are:
•FATAL—Emergency. The ACS is not usable and you must take action
immediately.
•ERROR—Critical or error condition.
•WARN—Normal, but significant condition. (Default)
•INFO—Informational message.
•DEBUG—Diagnostic bug message.
Configure Local Setting for Category
Log to Local Target Check to enable logging to the local target.
For administrative and operational audit logging category types, logging to
local target is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
Local Target is
Critical
Usable for accounting and for passed authentication logging category types
only. Check the check box to make this local target the critical target.
For administrative and operational audit logging category types, the check box
is checked by default and cannot be unchecked; the local target is the critical
target.
If you make local target as the critical target and the logging operation fails, the
authentication request will be rejected and accounting response will not be sent
to the device.
Configure Logged Attributes
—Display only. All attributes are logged to the local target.
