12.4.7 Configuring Controller, Access Points and Convergence
Software logs and traces
The system stores configuration data and log files. These files include:
● event and alarm logs (triggered by events)
● trace logs (triggered by component activity)
● accounting files (created every 30 minutes, to a maximum of six files)
The files are stored in the operating system and have a maximum size of one GB. The
accounting files are stored in flat files in a directory that is created every day. Eight directories
are maintained in a circular buffer (when all are full, the most recent replaces the earliest).
12.4.8 Viewing log, alarm and trace messages
The HiPath Wireless Controller generates three types of messages:
● Logs (including alarms): messages that are triggered by events
● Traces: messages that display activity by component, for system debugging,
troubleshooting and internal monitoring of software
● Audits: files that record administrative changes made to the system (the GUI Audit displays
changes to the Graphical User Interface on the HiPath Wireless Controller)
12.4.8.1 Logs including alarms
The log messages contain the time of event, severity, source component and any details
generated by the source component. The messages are classified at four levels of severity:
● Informational, the activity of normal operation
● Minor (alarm)
● Major (alarm)
● Critical (alarm)
The alarm messages (minor, major or critical log messages) are triggered by activities that
meet certain conditions that should be known and dealt with.
