The management interface can be used to control the Dialogic
®
Diva
®
Media Board configuration at run time
without reloading or restarting the Diva Media Board. It can also be used as source of information and events
for an SNMP interface, call statistics and accounting utilities, or other management applications.
The management interface is located on the Diva Media Board (or in the device driver). It is structured like a
virtual file space, containing directories and variables. Each directory and variable is identified by its path and
name. A path contains a directory name followed by a specific variable or subdirectory that is separated by a
backslash "\".
Variables can have the following functions:
Type Description
Variable Standard variable that can be read or written
Function Variable that can be executed and does not provide a value
Event Variable that can be read and used as source of events which are generated when
the state (value) of this variable changes
The divalogd accounting utility uses the sources of information contained in the management interface and
maintains a detailed call log journal. Based on the information from divalogd, you can provide accounting
services and control the quality of the provided services.
divalogd stores the call log to the file /var/log/divalog. On every daemon/system restart, the logfiles are
rotated: /var/log/divalog is renamed to /var/log/divalog.1, etc. Up to 10 log files are stored.

retrieve trace information.
