Basic Configuration
5.3.3. Log Configuration
This feature allows you to create records of command activity, alarm actions and
temperature readings for the TSM/RSM unit. The Log features are enabled and
configured via the System Parameters Menus. The TSM/RSM features three different
event logs: the Audit Log, the Alarm Log and the Temperature Log:
• AuditLog: Creates a record of all port connection/disconnection, power switching,
and reboot activity at the TSM/RSM unit, including reboots and switching caused
by Load Shedding, Load Shedding Recovery, Ping No Answer Reboots and
Scheduled Reboots. In addition, the Audit Log also includes login/logout records
for all users and connection/disconnection records for the serial ports. Each Log
record includes a description of the activity that caused the power switching, port
connection, login or reboot, the username for the account that initiated the action
and the time date that each event occurred.

• AlarmLog: Creates a record of all Alarm Activity at the TSM/RSM unit. Each time
an alarm is triggered or cleared, the TSM/RSM will generate a record that lists the
time and date of the alarm, the name of the Alarm triggered, a description of the
Alarm and the time and date that the Alarm was cleared.
• TemperatureLog: Provides a record of temperature levels over time at the unit.
Each Log record will include the time and date, and the temperature reading.

5.3.3.1. TheAuditLogandAlarmLogConfigurationOptions
The System Parameters menu allows you to select three different configuration
parameters for the Audit Log and Alarm Log. Note that the Audit and Alarm Logs
function independently, and parameters selected for one will not be applied to the other.
• Off: The Log is disabled; command activity and/or alarm events will not be logged.
• On-WithSyslog: The Log is enabled; power switching, reboot activity and/or
alarm events will be logged. The TSM/RSM will generate a Syslog Message every
time a Log record is created.
• On-WithoutSyslog: The Log is enabled; power switching, reboot activity and/or
alarm events will be logged, but the TSM/RSM will not generate a Syslog Message
every time a Log record is created. (Default Setting)
