Diagnostics and auditing

Verify Identity Access provides ways to collect events that you can use for diagnostic and auditing purposes of the servers.

Events for diagnostics and auditing pertain to the operations of the Verify Identity Access servers. These events do not pertain to the installation of these servers.

To enable diagnostics and auditing, you define which types of events to capture. When events are captured, they can be written to log files. Events can also be written to the standard output (STDOUT) device, to the standard error (STDERR) device, or to a combination of these destinations. Beyond these destinations, when events are captured, they can be redirected to a remote server or redirected for processing to an application that uses log agents.

During the installation of the Verify Identity Access servers, the installation logs capture all messages for that specific installation. When using a native installation, the installation uses the operating system logs. For information about installation logs, see the IBM® Verify Identity Access for Web: Troubleshooting Guide.
