The Voyager Audit Log feature does not record any operations performed using the command- line interface (CLI). To log configuration changes made using either Network Voyager and the CLI, enable the system configuration audit log.

Configure the system configuration audit log to record transient and permanent configuration changes. You can view the syslog messages to determine whether authorized users only are making configuration changes to the system.

To set the system configuration audit log

1.Click System Logging under Configuration > System Configuration in the tree view.

2.In the System Configuration Audit Log field, select from the following:

„Logging disabled—The system writes minimal messages to the system log that a configuration change was made, including the name of the host from which the change was made, and the name of the user who made the change.

„Logging of transient changes—The system writes messages to the system log each time a user applies a configuration change to the running system. Transient changes are those that apply only to the currently running system. Transient changes are equivalent to clicking the Apply button only in Network Voyager.

„Logging of transient and permanent changes—The system writes messages to the system log each time a user applies a configuration change to the running system or changes the configuration files. Permanent changes are those that remain active after the system is rebooted. These changes are equivalent to clicking the Save button in Network Voyager after you apply a configuration change.

3.Click Apply.

4.If you are using a disk-based system, a Destination Log Filename text box appears after you enable the system configuration auditlog. The box contains the name of the file to which syslog messages for this feature are sent. The default is /var/log/messages. To change the file, enter the new file name in the Destination Log Filename text box.

On flash-based systems, you cannot save the messages to another file.

Note

The system configuration audit log setting is not saved in the configuration file. You must reset it after rebooting to enable logging again.

You must enter a destination file name to view log messages in the Management Activity Log. The default destination file logs messages in the standard system log file. To access the Management Activity Log page, click Monitor on the Home page in Network Voyager and then
