Managing log files remotely
You can use command-line utility to remotely manage log files. The log file management utility is
found on the product CD-ROM.
Table 12-3 shows the file location and file name for the platform you
are using for the SGMI.
The remote tools are zip (.zip extension) or gzip-compressed tar files (.tgz extension) for the
components within the main zip or gzip-compressed tar file for the Windows or UNIX platforms,
respectively. The actual command you use from within the zip or tgz file is also listed. You can use the
Flatten utility to process the message logfile to allow it to be read.
Note: You must install and configure X-Windows to use the remote log tool in a Linux environment.
When you perform remote logfile management, you could be working outside a trusted environment
on a Linux, Solaris or Windows computer. Accessing your security gateway using an outside
(untrusted) network can present danger.
If the certificate for the security gateway is not in the trust store of the client’s computer, you are
prompted to install the certificate on the local computer. If you choose not to install the certificate, you
are given the option to accept (or reject) the certificate for use with this session. Once the certificate is
installed in the trust store, you are not prompted to accept or reject the certificate again.
If you want to run the remote logfile management utility in a batch file, use the keytool utility to add a
certificate to prevent being prompted to install a certificate at runtime. Keytool is a key and certificate
management utility provided with the Java Runtime environment (JRE). For more information on the
keytool utility, consult
