System Log Event Listener
The event listener named
System
is an instance of the
file
module. Certificate
Management System automatically creates this listener during installation. By
default, the listener is configured as follows:
• The rule is enabled.
• The type is set to log system messages (
type=system
).
• The log level for the active log file is set to 3 (
level=Failure
).
• Log messages are written to a file named
system.log
, which is at:
<server_root>/cert-<instance_id>/logs/
• The buffer size for the active log file is set to 512 KB (
bufferSize=512
).
• The interval for flushing the buffer to the file is set to 5 seconds
(
flushInterval=5
).
• The size limit for the active log file is set to 100 KB (
maxFileSize=100
).
• The rollover interval for the active log file is set to monthly or every 30 days
(
rolloverInterval=Monthly
).
• Expiration time for the rotated log files is set to 0 seconds (
expirationTime=0
).
For details on individual parameters defined in the listener, see Table 8-2 on
page 300.
NTEventLog Plug-in Module
The
NTEventLog
module enables you to configure Certificate Management System
to write both audit and system logs to the Event Log of a Windows NT system. If
you’ve installed Certificate Management System on a Windows NT system, the
CMS window allows you to turn this feature on or off and to specify the levels for
logging.
