About Log Channels
When 8950 AAA is first installed, all log messages are sent to the policy.log
file. However,
log messages can be directed to a wide range of other output destinations. Some
destinations that can be used for log channels include, but are not limited to:
•
Files
•
Databases
•
Syslog servers
•
Network management Stations (SNMP)
•
Each destination is known as a log channel. A log channel is uniquely named and is
configured with specific properties. Names are usually chosen to provide a description of
the channel. For example: LogToOracle, access-errors, NOC-Syslog-Server, etc.
Displaying Log Channel Information
Select Log Channels from the Logging Tools section on the Navigation pane. The Log
Channels panel is displayed as shown in
Figure 16-4
.
8950 AAA uses Log Channels to output log messages. Log messages are typically errors,
warnings, and information type messages. There are also other levels of messages used to
track down problems such as debug level.
Using the Log Channels panel, you can specify the destinations for log messages. You can
configure multiple output types by using the Wizard or the Insert button to add more than
one channel. Once your channels are defined, use the LogRules panel to direct log
messages to your channels.
