Log Files


This appendix describes the Broadband Access Center for Cable (BAC) log files that you can use to identify the status of your BAC implementation to troubleshoot problems.

Log Directories

BAC creates log directories based on which server is running; either the DPE or RDU server.

Log Structure

The log file structure, is describe here and illustrated in Example A-1. The log file includes this information:


Note    Another level known as DEBUG is used exclusively by Cisco for debugging purposes. Do not use this level except at the direction of the Cisco TAC.

Configuring Log Levels

You can configure logging levels for both the RDU and the DPE to suit your specific requirements. For example, the logging level for the RDU could be set to Warning and the level for the DPE could be set to Alert.

Log messages are written based on certain events taking place. Whenever an event takes place, the appropriate log message and level are assigned and, if that level is less than or equal to the configured level the message is written to the log. The message is not written to the log if the level is higher than the configured value.

For example, assume that the log level is set to 4-Warning. All events generating messages with a log level of 4 or less are written into the log file. If the log level is set to 6-Information, the log file will receive all messages. Consequently, configuring a higher log level results in a larger log file size.
