persistent file. All Cisco MGM Java front GUI application will send the information of user activities to
Audit Logger server via CORBA interface. Audit Logger server, then, will write the data into the
persistent log file.

• C.14.1.1 AuditLogger.conf Usage
• C.14.1.2 Audit Trail Log File Naming Convention
• C.14.1.3 Open a Dialog Box in a Cisco MGM GUI, There Is No Record in the Audit Trail Log File
C.14.1.1 AuditLogger.conf Usage
The following can be configured in the configuration file:
Location of the log file - The default is (/opt/svplus/log/AL).
Number of days - By defining the number of days for the audit trail log files to be kept, all other
obsoleted audit trail logs will be deleted automatically.
The name of the user group whose member can read the audit trail log files - it is a standard UNIX user
group.
C.14.1.2 Audit Trail Log File Naming Convention
There is one audit trail log file per day. The file name convention is defined as:
AuditTrail.<mmddyyyy>.log
Example audit trail log files: AuditTrail.10102001.log for October 10, 2001.
C.14.1.3 Open a Dialog Box in a Cisco MGM GUI, There Is No Record in the Audit Trail Log File
Open a dialog box in a Cisco MGM GUI.There is no open window event for this dialog box logged in
the Audit Trail log file.
The detailed step by step debugging for the above is as follows:
Step 1 Open Cisco MGM Security Manager GUI, check the Audit-Read permission for that Cisco MGM GUI
in the security profile associated with that particular user.
a. If the Audit-Read permission is not turned on, then no record is the expected behavior. Otherwise,
go to step 2.
Step 2 Check if the Audit Logger server is running.
a. Use "psg AuditLogger" on the Cisco MGM machine. If no AuditLogger server is running, here is
the problem. Then go to defect information, follow the steps to collect all the information needed.
