Remote syslog server overview

Last Updated : Oct 04, 2021 |

AE Services records log files using the remote syslog (rsyslog) server. The rsyslog is a utility for processing and managing log files. The DMCC, LCM, HMDC, SNMP subagent, AE Services management console deployed on the web server use the log4j adaptor.

TSAPI, Transport Layer, CVLAN, ASAI Link Manager, and HTTPD services record log files using glibc syslog.

With remote system logging, log messages conform to Avaya CEC requirements.

You can view the rsyslog configuration for the services in the /etc/rsyslog.d/ file directory. The file names are as follows:

  • mavp.conf: TSAPI, Transport Layer, CVLAN, ASAI Link Manager rsyslog configuration files.

  • aesvcs.conf: DMCC, LCM rsyslog configuration files.

  • catalinaRsyslog.conf: AE Services management console and web server rsyslog configuration files.

  • httpdRsyslog.conf: HTTPD rsyslog configuration files.

Watchdog and ossicm log files are not logged using the rsyslog server.
