Viewing logs and statistics
The SKM maintains logs and statistics you can use to monitor your system’s performance. The Log
Configuration and Log View pages enable you to configure log rotation schedules, syslog settings,
specify log levels, and view and download logs. The Statistics page enables you to view real-time
system, connection, and throughput information.
This chapter contains the following information:
• Logging Overview

Logging overview
The SKM maintains a variety of logs to record administrative actions, network activity, cryptography
requests, and more. You can schedule log rotations, configure the number of logs archived on the SKM,
stipulate the maximum log file size, and transfer logs to a log server.
The following logs are created:
• System Log – Contains a record of all system events, such as: service starts, stops, and restarts;
SNMP traps; hardware failures; successful or failed cluster replication and synchronization;
failed log transfers; and license errors.
• Audit Log – Contains a record of all configuration changes and user input errors made to the
SKM, whether through the Management Console or the CLI.
• Activity Log – Contains a record of each request received by the KMS Server.
• Client Event Log – Contains a record of all client requests containing the
element.
For each type of log, the current log entries are kept in a file named ‘Current’.
Log rotation
When a log file is rotated, the Current log file is closed and renamed with a timestamp. This renamed file
is then either stored in the log archive or transferred off of the SKM, depending on your configuration. A
new Current log file is then created.
Log rotation occurs according to a configured schedule. Rotation can also occur earlier, if the log file
grows to predetermined maximum size. You configure all of these parameters.
