Log File Name

Description

AS_Log.log

The architecture services log. The log file contains low-level 
debugging information from the management services library 
resulting from the scheduler’s interactions with the Asset Service and 
Task Service. This log file is for debugging problems involving 
interaction with these services.

CrmCommTrace.log

Low-level communication log for the Configuration and Response 
Module (CRM), providing information about issdk/issDaemon 
communications with SiteProtector. 

Note:

This log file is created as 

\tmp\issCommTrace.tmp

; the 

log file name is changed about half way through the initialization of 
the CRM.

iss-esmScheduler-
stdout.log

The stdout and stderr output for the Enterprise Scanner task 
scheduler. This log file normally shouldn't be used or necessary; it 
includes errors that are only displayed to stdout/stderr for debugging 
purposes.

iss-esmSchedWatch.log

Contains messages regarding the status of the Scheduler process.

iss-esm-stdout.log

The stdout and stderr output for the ESM blade. This log file normally 
shouldn't be used or necessary; it includes errors that are only
