 ====== NIOS Logging ====== ====== NIOS Logging ======
 +[[https://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios90/193692008/Syslog|Syslog Documentation Examples]]
  
 +REMEMBER! If you have query logging enabled, if the box is busy then you can easily build up to the point where all logs only go back 1 hour and the support bundle is 3.3Gb.
 +===== Query Logging Warning =====
 +NIOS 9.0.7 introduced a useful warning when query/response logging is enabled (basically, don't do it unless you know what you are doing because it could have a massive impact on performance - expecially if you have configured the system to send all the logs out via SYSLOG.
 +
 +You can disable the warning with:
 +<code>set query_logging_warnings off</code>
 +<code>set query_logging_warnings on</code>
 +===== Syslog Errors =====
 +
 +Member offline log:
 +Facily = User
 +Server = monitor
 +Level = ALERT or ERROR
 +  * (ALERT) Type: controld, State: Red, Event: A controld failure has occurred.
 +  * (ALERT) Type: httpd, State: Red, Event: An Apache software failure has occurred.
 +  * (ALERT) Type: NTP Synchronization, State: Green, Event: The NTP service resumed synchronization. state change from 16 to 15
 +  * (ALERT) Type: NTP Synchronization, State: Red, Event: The NTP service is out of synchronization. state change from 15 to 16
 +  * (ALERT) Type: OSPF, State: Red, Event: An OSPF routing daemon failure has occurred. 
 +  * (ALERT) Type: DNS, State: Red, Event: A named daemon monitoring failure has occurred. 
 +  * (ALERT) Type: Replication, State: Red, Event: Offline
 +  * (ALERT) Type: SSH, State: Red, Event: An SSH daemon failure has occurred.
 +  * (ALERT) Type: Threat Analytics, State: Red, Event: Threat Analytics Service is failed state change from 125 to 128
 +  * (ALERT) Type: DNS, State: Red, Event: A named daemon monitoring failure has occurred. 
 +  * (ALERT) Type: DFP, State: Red, Event: NIOS/DFP Service has failed. Cloud/DFP is unhealthy. state change from 142 to 141
 +  * (ERROR) Type: DNS, State: Yellow, Event: DNS is still running even though DNS Traffic Control is not functioning properly state change from 32 to 106
 +  * (ERROR) Type: Cloud DNS Sync, State: Yellow, Event: Cloud DNS Sync Service is initializing. state change from 169 to 168
 +  * (ERROR) Type: DFP, State: Yellow, Event: NIOS/DFP Service is stopped by user. Cloud/DFP is healthy. state change from 142 to 143
 +  * (ERROR) Type: Replication, State: Yellow, Event: Synchronizing with grid
 +  * (ERROR) Type: DOT_DOH, State: Yellow, Event: DoT/DoH is enabled. You must manually reboot NIOS for DoT and DoH features. state change from 152 to 150
 ===== Audit Log Rolling ===== ===== Audit Log Rolling =====
 The audit log file has a maximum size of 100Mb. When the limit is reached, the file is wiped (or FIFO overwritten) and starts to fill up again. If rolling is enabled, then a backup of the file is taken before it is deleted. Up to nine rolled log files can be stored. e.g The audit log file has a maximum size of 100Mb. When the limit is reached, the file is wiped (or FIFO overwritten) and starts to fill up again. If rolling is enabled, then a backup of the file is taken before it is deleted. Up to nine rolled log files can be stored. e.g
Line 14: Line 44:
   * audit.log.8   * audit.log.8
   * audit.log.9   * audit.log.9
 +===== Backup Logs =====
 +
 +Succeful backup via SCP generates the following syslog
 +  * Facility: Daemon
 +  * Level: Notice
 +  * Server: scheduled_scp_backups
 +  * Message: Scheduled backup to the SCP server was successful - Backup file /dir/path/to/backup/<gridname>_2025_07_25_11_15.tar.gz
 +
 +Successful backup locally generates the following syslog
 +  * Facility: Daemon
 +  * Level: Notice
 +  * Server: manage_scheduled_backups
 +  * Message: Backup to LOCAL was successful - Backup file /storage/backup/BACKUP_2025_07_25_11_15.tar.gz
 +
 +
 +===== DTC Logging =====
 +See [[infoblox_nios:dtc|DTC]] page for details on logging.
 +===== Downloading SYSLOG =====
 +Under Administration > Logs > SysLog, you can
 +  * Export
 +  * Download
 +  * Print
 +
 +Export can be a big file (e.g. I just tested it on a small lab NIOS box and it was 141Mb CSV file). It is uncompressed CSV of everything. However, if you apply a log filter, you will only get filtered results.
 +
 +Download will give you a file called ''sysLog.tar.gz'' that contains a file called messages which is the raw syslog file.
 +
 +Print will print a screen's worth of logs (about 8 pages).
 +
 +Other options for getting logs
 +  * Pulling a support bundle from GM, GUI or WAPI
 +  * Pushing a support bundle from CLI
 +  * Fileop function (via WAPI)
 +===== Logs on CLI =====
 +
 +<code>show log
 +show log syslog
 +show log audit
 +show log syslog follow
 +show log audit follow
 +show log syslog tail 5
 +show log audit tail 5</code>
