Configuring SMP Logging

The System > Settings > Logging page shows the SMP server systems logs. These are all logs that are not specific to a certain Service Domain.

Use the Log Level option to configure the minimum log severity level that is written to the General Logs table. For example, if you select Alert, all logs with the severity level of Alert and Emergency are written to the General Logs table.

To configure the severity level for the logs:

1. Go to System > Settings > Logging.

2. In Log Level, select the severity level.

3. Click Save.

To configure the SMP Server as a Syslog client for system logs:

1. Go to System > Settings > Logging.

2. In System Logs Logging, select Forward logs to an external Syslog Server.

3. In Syslog Server, enter the Syslog server IP address.

4. In Syslog Port, enter the port used to send Syslog messages.

5. Click Save.

You can define old logs as older than a specified number of days, and specify if these logs are automatically deleted, or are compressed and moved to an archive folder.

To configure log file storage for SMP system logs:

1. Go to System > Settings > Logging.

2. In System Logs Logging, select Purge old logs.

3. In Older than, enter the number of days that log files are saved in the SMP.

4. For Action:

   • To automatically delete old logs, select Delete.

   • To compress old logs and move to an archive folder, select Archive. Add the path where the logs are archived.

5. Click Save.
