specifies the name of the JAR file (a signed zip file).
•
input
specifies the path to the directory that contains the log files.
3.9.11. Registering a Log Module
New log plug-in modules can be registered through the Console. Registering a new module involves
specifying the name of the module and the full name of the Java
™
class that implements the log
interface.
Before registering a plug-in module, put the Java
™
class for the module in the
classes
directory; the
implementation must be on the class path.
To register a log plug-in module with a subsystem instance:
1. Log into the Console.
2. In the
Configuration
tab, select
Logs
from the navigation tree. Then select the
Log Event
Listener Plug-in Registration
tab.
3. Click
Register
.
The
Register Log Event Listener Plug-in Implementation
window appears.
4. Give the name for the plug-in module and the Java
™
class name.
The Java
™
class name is the full path to the implementing Java
™
class. If this class is
part of a package, include the package name. For example, registering a class named
customLog
in a package named
com.customplugins
, the class name would be
com.customplugins.customLog
.
5. Click
OK
.
3.9.12. Deleting a Log Module
Unwanted log plug-in modules can be deleted through the Console. Before deleting a module, delete
all the listeners based on this module; see
Section 3.9.5, “Log File Rotation”
.
To delete a module:
1. Log into the Console.
2. In the
Configuration
tab, select
Logs
, and then select the
Log Event Listener Plug-in
Registration
tab.
3. In the
Plug-in Name
list, select the module to delete, and click
Delete
.
4. When prompted, confirm the delete.
3.9.13. Signed Audit Log
The signed audit log creates a log recording system events; the events that are recorded are selected
from a list of potential events. This feature, when enabled, records all selected system events and
produces a verbose set of messages about the activity. Be careful to provide enough space in the
filesystem for this log when using signed audit logs. The signed audit log feature is disabled by default.
