System Logs

Configuring Trace Logging

Trace logging is useful for quickly resolving issues for specific sessions that are currently active. They are
temporary filters that are generated based on a qualifier that is independent of the global event log filter
configured using the logging filter command in the Exec mode. Like event logs, however, the information
generated by the logs is stored in the active memory buffer.
All debug level events associated with the selected call are stored.
Important
Use the following example to configure trace logs in the Exec mode:
[local]
}
Once all of the necessary information has been gathered, the trace log can be deleted by entering the following
command:
[local]
username }
Configuring Monitor Logs
Monitor logging records all activity associated with all of a particular subscriber's sessions. This functionality
is available in compliance with law enforcement agency requirements for monitoring capabilities of particular
subscribers.
Monitors can be performed based on a subscriber's MSID or username, and are only intended to be used for
finite periods of time as dictated by the law enforcement agency. Therefore, they should be terminated
immediately after the required monitoring period.
This section provides instructions for enabling and disabling monitor logs.
Enabling Monitor Logs
Use the following example to configure monitor log targets:
configure
logging monitor { ip_addr | ipv6_addr | msid id | username name }
end
Repeat to configure additional monitor log targets.
Disabling Monitor Logs
Use the following example to disable monitor logs:
configure
no logging monitor { ip_addr | ipv6_addr | msid id | username name }
end
Trace logs impact session processing. They should be implemented for debug purposes only.
host_name logging trace { callid call_id | ipaddr ip_address | msid ms_id | username username
#
host_name no logging trace { callid call_id | ipaddr ip_address | msid ms_id | username
