PBX logging

The Private Branch Exchange (PBX) log files can be critical when you troubleshoot secure communication issues. You may have to increase the size and the number of log files from the defaults: 5 log files at 51200 KB each.

The PBX logs are located at the following location on any primary, media, or client server:

UNIX: /opt/VRTSpbx/log

Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\VERITAS\VxPBX\log

To increase the maximum size and the number of log files

  1. To increase the maximum log size and number of log files, run the following commands:

    In these examples, 10 log files are created at a maximum size of 102400 KB.

    Windows:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\VERITAS\VxPBX\bin\vxlogcfg  - a  - p 50936  - s 
    "MaxLogFileSizeKB=102400"  - o 103
    C:\Program Files (x86)\VERITAS\VxPBX\bin\\vxlogcfg  - a  - p 50936  - s 
    "NumberOfLogFiles=10"  - o 103

    UNIX:

    /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxlogcfg  - a  - p 50936  - s "MaxLogFileSizeKB=102400"  - o 103 
    /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxlogcfg  - a  - p 50936  - s "NumberOfLogFiles=10"  - o 103
  2. Open the PBX log directory.

    UNIX: /opt/VRTSpbx/log

    Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\VERITAS\VxPBX\log

  3. Verify that the log files have increased in size to more than 51200 KB.
  4. Verify the PBX log settings.

    Windows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Veritas\VxICS\logcfg\103

    UNIX:

    • Change to the directory /etc/vx/VxICS.

    • Use the cat icsul.conf command and verify that the changes were made.

    For example:

    cat icsul.conf
    ###############################################
    # Caution! Do not update/modify file by hand.
    # Use vxlogcfg tool to update/modify this file
    ###############################################
    103.DebugLevel=6
    103.AppMsgLogging=ON
    103.LogToOslog=false
    103.LogDirectory=/var/log/VRTSpbx/
    103.L10nResourceDir=/opt/VRTSpbx/resources
    103.L10nLib=/optVRTSpbx/lib/libvxexticu.so.3
    103.L10nResource=VxPBX
    103.MaxLogFileSizeKB=102400
    103.RolloverMode=FileSize
    103.NumberOfLogFiles=10
    103.LogRecycle=true
