Overview of MAS Event, Error & Alarm Logs

The Avaya Messaging Application Server software provides logs and notifications for events, errors, and alarms.

INADS & SNMP Traps

The alarm subsystem provides mechanisms for sending alarm notifications to support personnel in a timely manner. These notifications can be sent using the Avaya Initialization and Administration System (INADS) or through the use of SNMP traps.

Command Line Interface Tools

Each MAS provides a set of event, error, and alarm logs, accessible to support personnel for analysis. You can access the following logs using a set of command line interface tools:

Maintenance events log This contains events and errors generally of interest only to technical services and development personnel.

Administrator log This contains events and errors that will likely be of interest to system administrators.

For the Administrator log, see Displaying MAS Event & Error Logs.

Active alarms log This contains information about alarms that are currently active on the system and is one of your primary lines of attack when problems occur.

Resolved alarms log This contains a history of and information about alarms that have been raised and then resolved on the system. This log can be useful in analyzing problems and trends in the system.

For the Active & Resolved alarms logs, see Displaying MAS Alarm Logs.
