The event logs are kept in the log file. You can find the log file(s) in: <InstallDir>
\OpenManagePowerCenter\logs\Audit.log.x. Where x is the incremental number, if applicable (shown
below.)
The total size of all audit log files is limited to 20 MB. Power Center keeps up to three audit log files of
approximately 6.67 MB each. If a new log causes the file size to exceed the limitation for a single log file,
Power Center renames the log file to a new name and stores the new log in a new log file with the
original file name.
When generating an audit log file, the naming rules are as follows:
• audit.log — The first audit log file name. This file always logs the latest actions.
• audit.log.1 — The second audit log file name. This is copied from audit.log when it exceeds the file
size limitation.
• audit.log.2 — The third audit log file name. This is copied from audit.log.1 when audit.log exceeds the
file size limitation.
Managing certificates
Power Center uses Keytool— a key and certificate management utility from the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE)—to generate a key pair (a public key and an associated private key) that is used to
create a self-signed certificate during installation.
Keytool is installed at <InstallDir>\external\jre\bin\keytool.exe. The private key and the self-signed
certificate are stored in the keystore file at <InstallDir>\keystore.ssl. The self-signed certificate expires
three months after installation.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended to update the private key and self-signed certificate.
You can manage Power Center certificates in Keytool. Common scenarios include:
• Scenario 1 — Generate a key pair and self-signed certificate. During Power Center installation, a key
pair and self-signed certificate are generated for the Power Center server.
NOTE: When you delete an entry from the keystore file, make sure you leave at least one key
pair entry in the keystore file; otherwise, Power Center does not work.
• Scenario 2 – Replace the self-signed certificate with a signed certificate issued by a Certification
Authority (CA). A certificate signed by a CA is more likely to be trusted by the Web browsers. To sign
your certificate by a CA, do the following:
– Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and submit to the CA.
