Configuration Log

TANDBERG VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

Viewing the Configuration Log Page

The Configuration Log page allows you to view and search login and configuration activities triggered via the VCS web interface. It shows all web login attempts for administrators and Findme users (both failed and successful), and all changes to the VCS configuration made via the web UI. The configuration log visible via the web UI holds a maximum of 4 MB of data; once this size is reached, the oldest entries will be overwritten.

To view the Configuration Log page:

Status > Logs > Configuration Log

Search for

This field allows you to filter the configuration log. Enter the text you wish to search for and click Filter. Only those web-based events that contain the text you entered will then be shown.

To return to the complete Configuration Log listing, click Reset.

Results

This section shows all the web-based events, with the most recent being shown first.

Most events contain hyperlinks in one or more of the fields (such fields will change color when you hover over them). You can click on the hyperlink to automatically filter the search so that only those events that contain that same text string are shown.

For example, clicking on the text that appears after Event= will filter the list to show all the events of that particular type. Likewise, clicking on a particular user will show

just those events relating to that particular administration account.

Understanding the Configuration Log Page

All events that appear in the Configuration Log are also recorded in the Event Log. They are all recorded as Level 1 Events, so any changes to the Logging Levels will not affect their presence in the Configuration Log.

Types of Configuration Events

Administrator sessions

Will be one of the following Events:

Admin Session Start

Admin Session Finish

Admin Session Login Failure

FindMe User sessions

Will be one of the following Events:

User Session Start

User Session Finish

User Session Login Failure

For both of the above types of session, the Detail field for each of these events will include:

the name of the administrator or FindMe user to whom the session relates, and their

IP Address

the date and time that the login was attempted, started, or ended.

Configuration changes

Changes to the VCS configuration made by

administrators via the web UI will have an Event field of System Configuration Changed.

The Detail field of each of these events will give:

the configuration item that was affected

what it was changed from and to

the name of the administrator user who made the change, and their IP Address

the date and time that the change was made.
