CipherTrust Manager System Monitoring

CipherTrust Manager has three mechanisms to monitor its system activity.

• Server audit records include general auditable events available in the GUI, CLI, and REST API in a user-readable JSON format, which can be used to create alarms.

  Note

  CipherTrust Manager can also store and display client records originating from client connectors. Consult documentation for a specific CipherTrust connector for information on configuring and interpreting client records.

• System logs are more detailed downloadable LTSV files intended for troubleshooting CipherTrust Manager operations with Thales customer support.

• KMIP and NAE activity logs are downloadable JSON format files that include information on operations performed through the KMIP and NAE interfaces.

The system records and logs can be exported to various external locations.

• Server audit records can be sent to an external syslog server and to an Elasticsearch or Loki log forwarder.

• KMIP and NAE activity logs can be sent to an Elasticsearch or Loki log forwarder and are downloadable to a JSON file.
