3.9.11. Registering a Log Module

It is possible to create new log modules using the CS SDK. New log modules must be registered
before they are available for use.
New log plug-in modules can be registered through the Console. Registering a new module involves
specifying the name of the module and the full name of the Java™ class that implements the log
interface.
Before registering a plug-in module, put the Java™ class for the module in the classes directory; the
implementation must be on the class path.
To register a log plug-in module with a subsystem instance:
1. Log into the Console.
2. In the Configuration tab, select Logs from the navigation tree. Then select the Log Event
Listener Plug-in Registration tab.
3. Click Register.
The Register Log Event Listener Plug-in Implementation window appears.
4. Give the name for the plug-in module and the Java™ class name.
The Java™ class name is the full path to the implementing Java™ class. If this class is
part of a package, include the package name. For example, registering a class named
customLog in a package named com.customplugins, the class name would be
com.customplugins.customLog.
5. Click OK.

3.9.12. Deleting a Log Module

Unwanted log plug-in modules can be deleted through the Console. Before deleting a module, delete
all the listeners based on this module; see
To delete a module:
1. Log into the Console.
2. In the Configuration tab, select Logs, and then select the Log Event Listener Plug-in
Registration tab.
3. In the Plug-in Name list, select the module to delete, and click Delete.
4. When prompted, confirm the delete.

3.9.13. Signed Audit Log

The signed audit log creates a log recording system events; the events that are recorded are selected
from a list of potential events. This feature, when enabled, records all selected system events and
produces a verbose set of messages about the activity. Be careful to provide enough space in the
filesystem for this log when using signed audit logs. The signed audit log feature is disabled by default.
