Event sources

In Figure: Event logging block diagram, the event sources are the main categories of events that feed the log manager:

• security

  The security event source is all events that affect attempts to breach system security such as failed login attempts, attempts to access MIB tables to which the user is not granted access or attempts to enter a branch of the CLI to which access has not been granted. Security events are generated by the SECURITY application and the authenticationFailure event in the SNMP application.

• change

  The change activity event source is all events that directly affect the configuration or operation of the node. Change events are generated by the USER application. The Change event stream also includes the tmnxConfigModify(#2006), tmnxConfigCreate (#2007), tmnxConfigDelete (#2008) and tmnxStateChange (#2009) change events from the SYSTEM application.

• debug

  The debug event source is the debugging configuration that has been enabled on the system. Debug events are generated by the DEBUG application.

• main

  The main event source receives events from all other applications within the 7210 SAS.

Examples of applications within 7210 SAS include IP, MPLS, OSPF, CLI, and services.
