backup
During each day, files are generated in the IMG under multiple folders that show the status of
the IMG. Files such as log files, stat files, and configuration change files just to name a few are
stored in the backup folder. Each day at approximately 12:30 am, the backup folder directory
is zipped up and sent to the zipfiles folder. At this point, the files in the backup folder are
wiped out and a new set of files will begin to accumulate in this folder.
Cacti_bin (10.5.0 +)
This folder contains the perl scripts that will retrieve the data from the stats folder. The stats
will then get plotted as a graph for the user to gather. Cacti is a graphing application that is
similar to MRTG.
calltracing
In Clientview under the physical node, the user can configure the IMG to run a Call Trace of a
specific IMG. Once this is configured all call trace logs are stored in this folder. The filename is
of the following format
sysLog_<serial#IMG>_<Date>_<Time>.log
config
Holds all configuration files needed to configure the system. The system.cfg and the
default.csa files are stored in this folder. Below is a list of configuration files stored in this
folder.
system.cfg --> File used by GCEMS to configure the IMG
default.csa --> File used by Clientview to configure the IMG
Imports --> CAS Variants stored in XML format
Routing --> IMG resource and route tables used for routing
Variant --> Used to store SS7 Variants
Working --> Each time the configuration is changed in ClientView a configuration file is
saved here.
NOTE: During the installation, if a system.cfg file already exists, it will be renamed
system_<DATE_OF_INSTALL>.cfg.
license
This folder holds the license files that the IMG accesses during configuration. The license files
naming convention is as follows:
<serial#IMG>_<DateTime>.cfg
log
Contains all current log files that are generated. Support Personnel may request specific log
files from this folder when troubleshooting a problem. See Log Files.
reports
Stores report output files.
stats
This folder contains the files that are used by MRTG and Cacti (10.5.0). The files are also used
to send call data to display the Channel Group Stats in ClientView. Data such as Temperature,
Fan Speed, CPU Usage, Incoming and Outgoing Calls are among just a few of the statistics
being logged in this folder. All files are stored as .csv files.
