This chapter contains an overview of Oracle Communications Offline Mediation Controller Syslog Collection Cartridge Pack (CC), which collects syslog files from multiple devices.

New Features

This section lists new features.

Version 6.0.0

This cartridge pack now works with Oracle Communications Offline Mediation Controller 6.0.

Alarms

All Offline Mediation Controller alarms are listed in the alarms.txt file located in the OMC_Home directory (OMC_Home is the directory in which you installed Offline Mediation Controller.) No new alarms are introduced in this cartridge pack.

Behaviors

The following are known behaviors for this cartridge pack:

  1. In the event of an FTP session failure, the CC will attempt to re-establish the session every 5 seconds, instead of the configured FTP Interval value on the FTP Settings tab. The CC will continue to attempt a re-connection until it successfully transfers the file. The CC will generate a log message for each unsuccessful FTP attempt. If there is a problem with the network or the FTP server, you may want to stop the CC, fix the problem, and then restart the CC.

  2. When provisioning the local directory where the CC is to collect files, if the specified directory does not exist, the CC will raise a critical alarm and will not start.

  3. When configuring the prefix and suffix values for the CC, non-alphanumeric characters, such as "." and "_" are supported but the "#" and "/" characters are not supported. Using these unsupported characters can result in the use of unexpected values when the data files are being renamed.
