Notification log specification
The Notification Service introduces a new notification.log file that tracks the status of each notification send attempt. Notification logs contain messages from Kafka send operations. Notification logging is enabled by default. The notification.log feature is optional via advanced configuration at the Accesser® , access pool, or all devices level.
File location and access
On an Accesser® Appliance, the Notification log is located here: /var/log/dsnet-core/notification.log. You can upload logs from the Manager to a host and view the notifications.log file to see notification send status. Alternatively, you can monitor the operations of the Notification Service by using a consumer application to view the topic on the Kafka cluster.
Retention policy
The maximum size of a single uncompressed notification log file before it is rotated is 200 MB. The total size of all compressed notification log files is 10 GB.
The logs are archived to the management vault. If configured through the Manager UI/REST API, time-based rotation and upload to the management vault is in sync with the Access Log. Time-based rotation can be overridden using advanced configuration.
