Configure Cloud Identity Agent Logs
Learn how to set the Cloud Identity agent log level to
track events on the agent host for troubleshooting.
The Cloud Identity agent logs Cloud Identity
Engine events that occur on the agent host. You can use these logs
to monitor informational events such as new connections (
Information—New connection 192.0.2.0: 49161
),
or for troubleshooting (Error—Verification of Server Cert failed, stopping Cloud Identity Agent
).
For example, the agent automatically generates logs if you test
connectivity when you Configure the Cloud Identity Agent. You can also
use the Event Viewer on the agent host to review logs created if
the agent is unable to connect to the Cloud Identity Engine due
to an incorrect bind DN or password, server unavailability, or other
issue.The agent displays logs in the order in which they
were generated. To provide a consistent timestamp across timezones,
logs include the timezone information in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
where the time offset is indicated by + or -. For the complete log
history, check the CloudIdAgentDebug log file on the agent host,
which permanently retains all logs.
- Launch the agent.
- Select.FileDebug
- Select the type of event you want to log.The agent logs the events of the selected type and all subsequent types. For example, if you selectDebug, the logs include error, warning, information, and debug events.
- If you selectNone, the Cloud Identity agent does not log events at any level.
- If you selectInformation,Warning, orError, the agent deletes the data from the log after sending it to the debug log on the agent host.
- If you selectDebugorVerbose, the received data is stored permanently on the disk until you delete the files.
To remove log files from the agent’s user interface, you can optionally Clear Cloud Identity Agent Logs.
