15.11 Scripts for Managing Slaves

When the Console Servers are cascaded, the Master is in control of the serial ports on the Slaves, and the Master's
Management Console provides a consolidated view of the settings for its own and all the Slave's serial ports. However, the
Master does not provide a fully consolidated view, e.g. Status: Active Users. It only displays those users active on the Master's
ports. You will need to write a custom bash script that parses the port logs if you want to find out who's logged in to cascaded
serial ports from the master.
You will probably also want to enable remote or USB logging, as local logs only buffer 8K of data and don't persist between
reboots.
This script would parse each port log file line by line. Each time it sees 'LOGIN: username', it adds the username to the list
of connected users for that port, each time it sees 'LOGOUT: username' it removes it from the list. The list can then be nicely
formatted and displayed. It is also possible to run this as a CGI script on the B092-016. In this case, the remote/USB logged
port logs files are in: /var/run/portmanager/logdir (or they are in /var/log). Otherwise you can run the script on the remote log
server.
To enable log storage and connection logging:
• Select Alerts & Logging: Port Log
• Configure log storage
• Select Serial & Network: Serial Port, Edit the serial port(s)
• Under Console Server, select Logging Level 1 and click Apply
