Local And Remote Logs - Spectracom SecureSync User Reference Manual

Journal Log
Displays log entries created for all configuration changes that have occurred (such as creating a
new user account, for example).
Update Log
Displays log entries related to software updates that have been performed.
Authentication Log
Displays log entries for authentication events (e.g., unsuccessful login attempts, an incorrectly
entered password, etc.) that are made to SecureSync's command line interfaces (such as the front
panel setup port, telnet, SSH, FTP, etc.).
NTP Log (Not Configurable)
The NTP log displays operational information about the NTP daemon. Entries in this log include
indications for when NTP was synchronized to its configured references (e.g., it became a
Stratum 1 time server), stratum level of the NTP references, as well as NTP throughput statistics.
Examples include:
4.11.2

Local and Remote Logs

SecureSync logs are all stored internally by default. With the exception of the NTP log, all logs can
also be configured to be stored externally, if desired.
The log entries for the logs can also be configured to be automatically sent to a Syslog Server for
external log storage. In order for these logs to be sent to a Syslog server, each desired log needs to
be configured for Syslog operation. With the exception of the Authentication and NTP logs, all log
setup options can be configured from the Logs Configuration page.
In each log, entries appear with the most recent events first (i.e., in reverse chronological order,
starting from the top).
To set up a remote log server, see "Setting up a Remote Log Server" on page 268.

Synchronized to (IP address), stratum=1 : NTP is synchronizing to another Stratum 1
NTP server.
ntp exiting on signal 15 : This log entry indicates NTP is now indicating to the network that
it is a Stratum 15 time server because it is not synchronized to its selected reference.
Time reset xxxxx s : These entries indicate time corrections (in seconds) applied to NTP.
No servers reachable : NTP can't locate any of its configured NTP servers.
Synchronized to PPS(0), stratum=0 : NTP is synchronized using the PPS reference
clock driver (which provides more stable NTP synchronization).
NOTE – The NTP log has no available configuration options.
