You can configure logs to syslog destinations and to be sent as SNMP traps
when generated.
To view event logs, use the Nortel MAS Console. The following table describes
the information that you can view in each event log.
Security Logs
Security logs provide Security Administrators and Auditors the ability to track
critical operations of the system and to analyze historical data should a
security breach occur. Security logs are viewed using the Event Viewer
Administrative tool.
Security logs are archived using the Save Log File As... popup menu option in
the Event Viewer. It is the responsibility of onsite personnel to transfer these
files off of the system if a backup of the security logs is required.
Access to security logs is restricted to either SSA or SA users.
The following parameters are set during installation:
• MaximumLogSize = 81920 KB
• AuditLogRetentionPeriod = 2
Windows OS Security Logs
All system events such as logins, file access, file handling, and network
access are all tracked using various Windows operating system services.
The rules that govern these logs are factory configured and installed on
the server during installation.
