Audit Log
Power Center tracks critical operations and stores related information in a log file for auditing purposes. Each log
includes the following basic information:
• User name
• Time
• Action
• Details (Depends on the action; see the following table for audit log details).
Table 12. Audit Log Details
Action Tracked Information
Successful/failed user login/logout Source IP
Add/remove emergency power reduction Impacted single device/group
Set/update/remove power policy Impacted single device/group
Start/stop network discovery Network discovery information; includes protocol profile,
IP range
Change session timeout Old/new value of timeout
Change password for Power Center managed user User name
Update role privilege Role name, old/new value of privileges
Add/remove user to role User name, old/new value of role name
Add/remove user User name
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 within three months.
