Log Manager and Event Logs
Events that are forwarded by event control are sent to the log manager. The log manager manages
the event logs in the system and the relationships between the log sources, event logs and log
destinations, and log filter policies.
An event log has the following properties:
• A unique log ID
The log ID is a short, numeric identifier for the event log. A maximum of ten logs can be
configured at a time.
• One or more log sources
The source stream or streams to be sent to log destinations can be specified. The source
must be identified before the destination can be specified. The events can be from the
main event stream, events in the security event stream, or events in the user activity
stream.
• One event log destination
A log can only have a single destination. The destination for the log ID destination can be
one of console, session, syslog, snmp-trap-group, memory, or a file on the local file
system.
• An optional event filter policy
An event filter policy defines whether to forward or drop an event or trap-based on match
criteria.
