Management interface. The Administration Console appears.
Using the Interface The Administration Console provides several tab and menu options that allow you
to configure STRM Log Management including:
•System Configuration - Provides access to administrative functionality, such
as, user management, automatic updates, license key, network hierarchy,
system settings, system thresholds, backup and recovery and Console

Deploying Changes 5
The Administration Console provides several toolbar options including:
Deploying Changes Once you update your configuration settings using the Administration Console,
you must save those changes to the staging area. You must either manually
deploy all changes using the Deploy menu option or, upon exit, a window appears
prompting you to deploy changes before you exit. All deployed changes are then
enforced throughout your deployment.
Using the Administration Console menu, you can deploy changes as follows:
•Deploy All - Deploys all configuration settings to your deployment.
•Deploy configuration changes - Deploys any configuration changes from the
current session to your deployment.
Viewing STRM Log
Management Audit
Logs
Changes made by STRM Log Management users are recorded in the audit logs.
You can view the audit logs to monitor changes to STRM Log Management and
the users performing those changes.
All audit logs are stored in plain text and are archived and compressed once the
audit log file reaches a size of 200 MB. The current log file is named audit.log.
Once the file reaches a size of 200 MB, the file is compressed and renamed as
follows: audit.1.gz, audit.2.gz, etc with the file number incrementing each
time a log file is archived. STRM Log Management stores up to 50 archived log
files.
This section provides information on using the audit logs including:
•Logged Actions
•Viewing the Log File
STRM Stop Stops the STRM Log Management
application.
STRM Restart Restarts the STRM Log Management

2MANAGING USERS
This chapter provides information on managing STRM Log Management users
including:
•Managing Roles
•Managing User Accounts
•Authenticating Users
You can add or remove user accounts for all users that you wish to access STRM
Log Management. Each user is associated with a role, which determines the
privileges the user has to functionality and information within STRM Log
Management. You can also restrict or allow access to areas of the network. By
default, the STRM Log Management Administrative (admin) user has unrestricted
access to all components of your deployment. You can create multiple admin
accounts for your STRM Log Management system.
Managing Roles You must create a role before you can create user accounts. By default, STRM
Log Management provides a default administrative role, which provides access to
all areas of STRM Log Management. A user that has been assigned administrative
privileges (including the default administrative role) cannot edit their own account.
Another administrative user must make any desired changes. Using the
Administration Console, you can:
•Create a role. See Creating a Role.
