Logging engine configuration

Introduction

This section describes how to configure the TSS integrated Logging engine. This engine is automatically installed with the TSS firmware and is dedicated to listening and storing the log messages coming either through Syslog or through Syslog over WebSocket.

Logging engine configuration on the TSS

On a VA TSS, this configuration is eased by a dedicated section in the Component Manager, under Logging Service.

loggingServiceConfiguration

You can get the status of the logging engine service and change its configuration:

syslogConfig

Once you have updated the configuration, press the Save Configuration button. The service will restart automatically.


		The logging engine configuration through the TSS Component Manager is only available for TSS OVA.

Syslog source identification

By default, turrets and TPO devices use their own device ID to identify their Syslog trace files. This behavior can be altered with the following two settings:

Location: Terminal Boot Settings

Global

Syslog is based on Device Identifier	truefalse
Key: application.boot.trace.source.deviceid Description: Define if syslog is based on Device Identifier or not. If not, syslog is based on Device IP address. By default, syslog is based on Device Identifier. Using MAC address or free identifier instead of IP address as syslog source is out of the syslog standards (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424). In case of external syslog server usage (not TSS and alternate TSS syslog server), it's highly recommended to set this configuration key to false that makes the syslog messages to be sent with IP address as syslog source. Constraint: true \| false

Location: TPO Boot Settings

Global

Syslog is based on Device Identifier	truefalse
Key: application.boot.tpo.trace.source.deviceid Description: Define if syslog is based on Device Identifier or not. If not, syslog is based on Device IP address. By default, syslog is based on Device Identifier. Using MAC address or free identifier instead of IP address as syslog source is out of the syslog standards (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424).
