permanently connected devices on Console Servers, Terminal Servers, and
OnSite serial ports.
The console log capacity is 20GB, which is about 80MB for each of the APM
E2000’s 256 maximum possible concurrent data logging sessions. The secure
online/offline storage ensures availability of all important console messages.
The APM 2500 and APM 5000 have a base Data Logging Session (DLS)
capacity of 64. This capacity can be expanded (through a DLS feature
activation option from Cyclades) to up to 512 DLSs for the APM 2500 and up
to 2048 DLSs for the APM 5000. The APM 2500 and the APM 5000 are also
available at the time of purchase, with additional, installable DLS activation.
Each line of the logfile contains a timestamp, a feature which prevents
tampering and provides a tool for analysis and audit trail tracking. Each time
you or any user connects to a DLS enabled port, the APM adds a timestamp to
the log file. The user identification timestamp is recorded in the data buffer
and logged separately on the APM access log database.
Log File Compression and Rotation
The system logger automatically saves the current log file after a certain point
in time, and then creates a new file to collect a new set of console data. The
file rotation is seamless with no data loss as the system copies from one file to
another.
The administrator has the option to move the saved log file(s) to another
server for archiving.
Prioritized Triggers & Alarms
Note: Alarm triggers work only with serial and IPMI consoles.
The APM E2000/2500/5000 event handling feature enables the system to
identify possible issues and alert the user. As the APM sends a message to the
hard disk for storing and consolidation, it also scans the message for triggers.
A trigger is a text string pre-defined by the administrator which the system
uses to detect a trigger text from messages. When the APM detects a trigger
