Audit log properties in the ias.properties file

These audit logs are stored by default in the installationDirectory/pronto/logs/ias directory on the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

You can configure the audit log by modifying the properties in the ias.properties file as shown in the following table. After you modify any of the properties in the ias.properties file, you must restart the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

Property

Description

com.bmc.sms.ixscomm.util.auditLogEnable

Boolean true/false value that indicates whether auditing is enabled. The default value is true.

com.bmc.sms.ixscomm.util.auditLogFilename

Specifies the file path and name of the audit log file, using the %g indicator to show that the audit log files are cycled through a numerical sequence. For example:

auditLogFilename=AuditLog%g.log
auditLogFilecount=10
auditLogLimit=5000

In the example above, the initial audit log is assigned the name AuditLog1.file. When its file size reaches 5000 bytes, a new audit log is generated with the same name but incremented by one: AuditLog2.file. As each log reaches the maximum size, a new audit log is created and incremented by one. When the maximum log file count (10 in this example) is reached, then the process repeats itself because only one cycle of logs is maintained. The first audit log of the new cycle starts at 1 (AuditLog1), overwriting the existing file. As new logs are generated in the new cycle, they overwrite the existing ones in sequence.
By default the audit logs are stored in the installationDirectory/server/log/ias directory. You can specify another directory path in this parameter value. For example, auditLogFilename=log/AuditLog%g.log, provided that the specified directory exists under installationDirectory/server.

com.bmc.sms.ixscomm.util.auditLogLimit

Size in bytes of the audit log file. The default is 5000 bytes (approximately 4.88 kilobytes). Although there is no predefined maximum size, BMC recommends that each log file does not exceed 5 MB.

com.bmc.sms.ixscomm.util.auditLogFileCount

Indicates the number of audit log files that are cycled through during a rotation. After the specified number is reached, the cycle repeats itself, overwriting in sequence the log files of the previous cycle. The default is 1.
