Management Message Log

The Management message log contains entries regarding the operation of AMC, including when the console was started and stopped and any errors that occurred during the appliance's administration.

Management message logs are stored on disk in the file /var/log/aventail/management.log and contain these parameters:

[DATESTAMP] [SERVICE@HOSTNAME] [local4.LEVEL] [AMC:] [DATE] [TIME] [TIMEZONE] [LEVEL] [MESSAGE]

This example illustrates a management message log file entry:

2025-07-25T12:31:06+00:00 AMC@wmperry-12-5-0-dev-gf048f7ae-default-standalone.sma local4.info AMC: 2025-07-25 12:31:06 +0000 INFO com.aventail.mgmt.rest.console.centralmanagement.managed.sharedstate.TrafficOptimizerConfigurationResource12_2 - Clearing traffic optimizer configuration

Management Messafe log fields
Field Description
Date and Time

The date and time when the message was generated by the service.

Example: [6/3/25 00:31:02]
Host Name

The host name.

Example: AMC@wmperry-12-5-0-dev-gf048f7ae-default-standalone.sma
Level (Severity)

The message severity levels are:

  • Error—A problem caused the server to shut down or fail to communicate with another component. A name resolution problem at startup is logged at this level.
  • Warning—Something unexpected occurred that does not adversely affect the operation of the server. For example, a single failed attempt to access a RADIUS server is logged at the Info level, but if all attempts fail, an entry is added to the log file at the Warning level.
  • Info—A normal event that you might want to track; for example, a specific user has logged in, or has matched a given access control rule.
  • Verbose—Like an Info message, this level identifies normal operations, but includes the steps in a process. For example, when processing access control rules a message for each non-match is at the Verbose level, while a matched rule is identified as Info.

Example: local4.info
