An auditor is a user who focuses on monitoring and managing system logs
for off-line analysis and debugging, giving no attention to system
functionality configurations. The auditor is authorized to perform
management of system logs. Only auditors are allowed to delete log files in
the system.
When you log into the system as an auditor for the first time, you are
required to create a new password.
Once you log in, the System Logs page is displayed. On the System Logs
page, you can view the available system log files and run a set of Action list
commands. You can also go to the My Setting-> My Setting page to set your
own account information and change your password.
System Log Files
The logger utility is activated at the system startup and continually records
system events. The log files generated by the utility contain the following
information:
Events occurred in system internal modules
Administrator activities
System login attempts
Unusual or malicious activities
Operation errors
Each log file has a maximum size of 50 MB.
All log files generated the day before are automatically compressed into
a .zip file named year-month-date.zip at 00:01:00 (GMT) every day. The
system supports a maximum disk space of 50 GB for log files storage. When
the system reaches the storage limit, the oldest files are automatically
overwritten by the new files.
The following table shows actions the auditor can perform from the Action
list.
