Configuring RSA Authentication Manager Logging
RSA Authentication Manager maintains logs of all system events. You can use these
logs to monitor the system and maintain an audit trail of all logon requests and
operations performed using the RSA Security Console.
Authentication Manager maintains the following logs:
Trace. Captures log messages that you can use to debug your system.
Administrative Audit. Captures log messages that record any administrative
action, such as adding and editing users.
Runtime Audit. Captures log messages that record any runtime activity, such as
authentication and authorization of users.
System. Captures log messages that record system level messages, such as
“Authentication Manager Server started,” and “Connection Manager lost db
connection.”
For each of the logs, you can configure the level of detail written to the log files. The
following logging levels are available for the Trace log:
Fatal. Captures only log messages that imply the imminent crash of the
application or the relevant subcomponent. Messages logged at this level require
immediate attention.
Error. Captures all fatal messages, as well as error conditions that must be
addressed, but may not necessarily cause the application to crash.
Warning. Captures all fatal and error messages, as well as log messages for minor
problems while the application is running.
