Downloading System Logs
Cisco IPICS displays the most current system log information in the Recent System Log Entries pane and allows you to download all of the system logs to your PC.
Cisco IPICS saves the log information in sequential log files, starting with ipics.log and continuing with ipics.log.1 through ipics.log.10.
•Cisco IPICS records system log information in the ipics.log file and continues to add data to it until the file reaches a maximum size of approximately 5.2 MB.
•When the ipics.log file reaches its maximum size, Cisco IPICS renames the file with an incremental number (starting at 1) and creates a new ipics.log file to capture the most current log data.
This process of filling and incrementing files continues until you have ten system log files that range from ipics.log.1 to ipics.log.10, in addition to the most recent ipics.log file.
•When you have accumulated ten files, Cisco IPICS automatically purges the oldest file.
When you download your system logs, Cisco IPICS creates a zip file of all the ipics.log files.
The system logs are located in the following directory:
/opt/cisco/ipics/tomcat/current/logs
To download the system logs, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1 From the Administration Console, navigate to Serviceability > System Logs.
Step 2 Click Download at the bottom of the window, under the Recent System Log Entries pane.

Note To view the log file, you must use a text file viewer that can understand UNIX new-line characters, such as WordPad. If you use Notepad, the file will not display properly.
Step 4 To save the zip file to your PC, click Save.
A Save As dialog displays, from which you can navigate to the location to save the zip file on your PC.
Step 5 If you chose to save the zip file, click Save.
The system unzips the files from the zip file, saves the files to the location you specified, and closes the Save As dialog box.
SNMP Support for Cisco IPICS
The Cisco IPICS server software includes read-only support for Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3). SNMPv3 is a protocol that facilitates the secure exchange of management information between network devices.
Note Cisco IPICS does not support SNMP traps.
This section describes how you configure and use SNMP with Cisco IPICS and includes the following topics:
•Supported MIBs and RFCs
•Configuring an SNMP Management Console and MIB Browser for Use with Cisco IPICS
Supported MIBs and RFCs
The server software provides a set of management information base (MIB) files and Request for Comments (RFC) documents to support SNMPv3.
The MIBs are divided into the following types:
•MIBs that provide you with information about the Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) hardware. Table 10-9 lists the Cisco MCS hardware MIBs that Cisco IPICS supports and the object ID (OID) for each MIB.
Note Cisco IPICS does not supply you with the hardware MIBs. If your SNMP management console (such as, a MIB browser) does not contain these MIBs, you can search for the MIBs by accessing the Hewlett-Packard web site at http://www.hp.com and downloading them to your SNMP management console. You can search for the MIBs by specifying either the MIB name or OID.
•MIBs that provide you with information about network and system status. Table 10-10 lists the network status MIBs.
These MIBs are the standard MIBs that are installed with the Net-SNMP package for the Cisco IPICS operating system. The MIBs are located in the following directory in the Cisco IPICS server:
/usr/share/snmp/mibs
If your SNMP management console does not contain these MIBs, you can download the MIBs from the server to your SNMP management console:
Cisco IPICS also includes RFCs with SNMP. RFCs provide you with definitions for MIBs and other SNMP elements. See Table 10-11 for the RFCs.
Table 10-9 lists the MIBs that are used for monitoring the status of the Cisco MCS hardware.

Configuring an SNMP Management Console and MIB Browser for Use with Cisco IPICS
To configure a MIB browser for Cisco IPICS on your SNMP management console, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1 (Optional) If your SNMP management console does not contain the MIBs, download the MIBs to your SNMP management console by performing the following actions:
•Download the hardware status MIBs by downloading them from the Hewlett-Packard web site at http://www.hp.com.
See Table 10-9 for a list of the system hardware status MIBs.
•Download the Net-SNMP MIBs that provide overall network status by performing the following steps:
a. Log in to the Cisco IPICS server by using the root user ID.
b. Navigate to the /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory by entering the following command:
[root]# cd /usr/share/snmp/mibs
c. Locate the MIB file(s) that you want to use.
d. Use a secure FTP program to download the MIB file(s) from the Cisco IPICS server to your SNMP management console.
See Table 10-10 for a list of the Net-SNMP MIBs.
Step 2 From your SNMP management console, open a MIB browser that supports SNMPv3.
Step 3 Create a profile in the SNMP management console with the following information:
•Host: The IP address of the Cisco IPICS server
•User name: ipics_snmp_user
•Authentication password: access_snmp
•Authentication protocol (MD5 or Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)): MD5
•Privacy/encryption password: access_snmp
•Privacy protocol (DES or AES): DES
Note The authentication protocol and privacy protocol are used to authenticate SNMPv3 messages.
Step 4 Use the supported MIB browser from your SNMP management console to perform read-only SNMP queries from the Cisco IPICS server.
