HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02.10 Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (T1428-90093, November 2013)

The HP-UX AAA Server Logfile
The server log file /var/opt/aaa/logs/logfile includes information about start and stop of
HP-UX AAA Server, RADIUS requests, success and failure of access and accounting requests,
warnings, and internal events. Following are the other log files related to the HP-UX AAA Server:
• /var/opt/aaa/logs/logfile_part<01-09>.yyyymmdd.gz - The compressed daily
HP-UX AAA Server log.
• /var/opt/aaa/acct/session.yyyy-mm-dd.log - The default session accounting log
file in the Merit style format.
• /var/opt/aaa/radacct/* - The session accounting log files in the Livingston Call Detail
Records (CDR) directory style format.
You can also access the HP-UX AAA Server logfile using the Server Manager administration utility.
For more information on using the Server Manager to access the HP-UX AAA Server logfile, see
see Using Server Manager to Retrieve Logfile Information on page 163.
The HP-UX AAA Server Debug File
The /var/opt/aaa/logs/radius.debug is the HP-UX AAA Server debug file. It logs debug
messages at the following levels:
Table 105 Debugging Levels in the HP-UX AAA Server
Level of InformationDebug Level
Minimal information1
2
• Level 1 information
• High-level FSM output and limited function tracing
3
• Level 2 information
• Full function tracing
4
• Level 3 information
• Low-level FSM and configuration file output
At runtime, radiusd logs debugging information that may be useful for troubleshooting. The
debug output can be turned on in the following ways:
• At Server startup - Use the radiusd command to turn on the debug output. For more
information on the radiusd command options, see Table 4-2.
• At server startup using the Server Manager - Use the Start configuration options in the
Administration screen to set the debug level. The debug output is not set dynamically. Stop
and start the HP-UX AAA Server for the debug output to be recorded.
• After server startup - Use the raddbginc utility to turn the debug output on and off, and to
set the debug level while the HP-UX AAA Server is running. This method is dynamic. You need
not start and stop the HP-UX AAA Server to log the debug output.
If the log files do not contain adequate information to isolate or solve a problem, use debugging
to increase the level of tracing and logging.
IMPORTANT: Logging debug information increases the HP-UX AAA Server's processing overhead
and can impact performance. Turn debugging off after you troubleshoot the problem.
