Using the Event Log

The system event log lets you troubleshoot recent AirWave events, such as APs coming up and down, services restarting, and most AirWave-related errors.

AirWave also audits activity committed by the Web or CLI so that you can analyze when a particular change might have occurred, especially for a shared system that multiple people can access.

From HPE Aruba Networking Management Software (AirWave) 8.2.12.1, the Event Log records the folder events as well. Folder events, such as add or delete, are recorded.

In Figure 1, the system even log shows that AirWave audited the web session initiated by the admin user and ended the web session because of inactivity.

Table 1 describes the page components.

Table 1: Event Log Fields

NMS—An event triggered by an NMS server. (See Integrating NMS Servers for more info.) Alert—If a trigger is configured to report to the log, an Alert type event will be logged here. WebUserAudit—Logging of actions performed from the AMP web interface. CLIUserAudit—Logging of actions performed from the AMP CLI menu interface.
Event	The event that AirWave observed. This information can be useful for debugging, user tracking, and change tracking.
Device ID	If the event is a Device event, then this column shows the device ID.
Folder	If the event is a Device event, this column shows the folder where the device resides.
Group	If the event is a Device event, this column shows the Group in which the device resides.
Hashed Session Key	Displays a partial of hash of the randomly generated key used for secure connections to help identify the session since users can have multiple sessions. NOTE: You can restrict the session from AMP Setup > Authentication.
