System Log Description
Policy Server Log
Location: /disk/data/logs
Elasticsearch
GENIAN.log: Elasticsearch process abnormal termination and restart error log, etc.
httpd
Error_log: httpd error log
Mod_jk.log: Apache and Tomcat communicate using Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) to communicate with each other and configure it using a module called mod_jk
- Apache and tomcat related error log
mysqld
Initdb.log: Logs generated during database initialization
Check whether the table is abnormal when driving
Mysqld.error: error log during mysql operation
Slowquery.log: SQL Query Log for long-running jobs
- Refer to when a specific action takes a long time during NAC operation
system
Agent: Agent log stored in PC is called from policy server and stored
- call command: centerd -dfg
centerd: Logs of actions performed by the Policy Server
- Policy Server status, Node role status, Authentication, integration, Data sync etc
sensord: Save the operation and error log performed by the network sensor
- Network Sensor status, Node detection, UP / Down, policy reception etc
messages: Hardware status related messages like dmesg
procmond: Process terminated abnormally and restart log
scanraw: Network scan information of Node for the platform's detection of the node
updown: Agent Up / Down status log
authsync: Database synchronization related logs
dbmigration: Save database migration results
gnlogin: console Login History Saving
radius.log: Saving RADIUS Status and Node Authentication Logs
tomcat
Catalina.out: The catalina.log file contains all log messages that are written to Tomcat's system.out and system.err streams.
The catalina.out file can include:
- Uncaught exceptions printed by java.lang.ThreadGroup.uncaughtException(..)
- Thread dumps, if you requested them via a system signal
System Inspection
Check script for the status of the Genian NAC system.
- Follow the below steps, as shown in the code box:
- Connect to the Policy Server Console directly or by SSH.
- Enter configuration mode.
- Enter shell mode.
- Use the
sysinspect.shcommand to check the system status.
genian> en
genian# @shell
Genians$ sysinspect.sh
==========Regualr Inspection==========
1) Check Server/Service infomation
2) Check Service status
3) Check Disk & Memory information
4) Check Smartctl
5) Check Slow Query
6) Check Total Inspection
9) Check Setup Config
======================================
Enter Select Number :
Check Server/Service information
- ServerRole: Refer to the configuration of the server to indicate the role of the server.
- H/W duplication: Check if the server is redundant. If redundant, check if the server is master or slave.
- DB replication: Check if the DB is redundant
- ALIVE: If DB replication status of Master / Slave server is normal, ALIVE
- MISMATCH or result is broken: If DB replication state of Master / Slave server is abnormal
- System Uptime: Number of Users in Server, Server CPU Load
- Platform: The model name of the server
- Version: The version of the image installed on this server
- MAC Address List: MAC Address list output
- Service Version: The version of services used by the server
- Elasticsearch indices Health check: Check the status of ElasticSearch indexes
- green: normal, Yellow / Red: abnormal
- Last 7 days Log Backup Check(Today Warning): Ensure Log backup is working properly
- Last 7 days DB Backup Check(Today Warning): Ensure Policy / Node backup is working properly
Check service status
Verify that all necessary processes are running on Genian NAC.
Necessary processes by component:
Policy Server:
Mysqld, elasticsearch, java, centerd, sensord, httpd, procmond, sshd, syslog-ng, radius (Need confirmation if using RADIUS server), vrrpd (Need confirmation if using HA configuration)
Network Sensor:
sensord, procmond, sshd
Check Disk & Memory information
Check the server's hard disk capacity and memory. If the hard disk is full or there is no free memory, Genian NAC may encounter the following problems.
- Genian NAC operation is slow or does not work
- When a backup file is not created
Check Smartctl
Check hard disk status If the RAW_VALUE value of Reallocated_sector_ct is not 0, there is a problem with the hard disk. Genian NAC operation may be defective, requiring hard disk replacement
Check Total Inspection
The server state described above is output at once
Check Setup Config
- Check for any missing basic settings
- How to check sensor and node status through CLI command
How to Check Network Sensor Status:
genian# show enforcer
interface | mode | active | local | request | strict | max
bond0.100 | 2 | OFF | ON | OFF | OFF | 10
bond0.101 | 2 | OFF | ON | OFF | OFF | 10
How to Check Node Status:
genian# show nodeinfo filter [IP address]
IP | MAC | device | sta | up | age | idle | expire | noderole
172.29.20.183 | 00:E0:4C:36:0D:F8 | eth0 | 1 | 1 | 1728088 | 5 | -3118306 | Denied by IPAM(10)
