The eSpace EMS provides user session monitoring to monitor the login user, login time, and

login IP address to prevent attacks from malicious users and to monitor online users. The

administrator can force a user to exit the eSpace EMS.

Password Change

You can change your password and the administrator can reset the user password. New

passwords must comply with the password policy.

3.7 Log Management

Logs are stored in the eSpace EMS database. You can query logs on the eSpace EMS client.

The log information helps you rapidly identify and analyze the faults. You can set the search

criteria to query logs and analyze the query results, helping you learn about the user

operations and operation status of the eSpace EMS.

Table 3-6 Log types

Log Type Description

Operation logs Operation logs record all user operations, including users, operation

names, operation time, operated objects, and operation results.

System logs System logs record the significant events occurring in the system,

including system exceptions, and network faults. System logs record the

basic information, modules, severities, and operation results. System logs

help you analyze the system status and troubleshoot the faults.

Security logs Security logs record information about security operations, for example,

login or logout, password change, and user creation.

3.8 Message Tracing

With this function, you can learn about and rectify critical faults in a timely manner based on

the alarm information.

Displaying Tracing Results

Tables and sequence diagrams are used to show tracing results. In addition, each record is

displayed in a tree diagram and in hexadecimal.

Analyzing Tracing Results

You can analyze the service flow and reported content in the tracing result.

Parsing the service flow: distinguishes the incomplete flow from the complete flow in

the reported message and Locates the problem through the incomplete flow. If the device

provides the flow identification, compare flows based on identifications. Messages with

the same identification are in the same flow. If the device does not provide the flow

identification, compare flows based on the sequence of the report time.

Analyzing reported content: The tracing message reported can be divided into three

levels: normal, warning, and error. Messages of different levels are in different colors.

Managing Tracing Files

After saving tracing results in files, you can download, query, or delete the tracing files.

3.9 Northbound Interface

Northbound interfaces are the external interfaces to connect the eSpace EMS and the

upper-layer NMS or other systems.

If the connection between the upper-layer NMS and the eSpace

EMS is abnormal or the upper-layer NMS is restarted, the

upper-layer NMS can deliver the command of synchronizing

alarms to the eSpace EMS. After the eSpace EMS receives the

command, the eSpace EMS reports all active alarms to the

upper-layer NMS again. The upper-layer NMS updates the

alarms based on alarm serial number to make the alarms

consistent with those on the eSpace EMS.

4 System Reliability

The eSpace EMS supports self-monitoring, backup and restoration, security hardening, and

geography disaster recovery (GDR) to ensure system reliability.

Self-Monitoring Capabilities

To ensure reliability, the eSpace EMS provides the watchdog process to monitor its own

applications and processes. If a process abnormally exits, the watchdog process automatically

restarts the process.

Backup and Recovery Capabilities

When Linux is used, the system provides the backup and recovery capabilities to full backup

and restore eSpace EMS files and database data. This ensures the reliability of the system and

database data.

Security Hardening Capability

Security of the system host is reinforced to ensure safe and stable running of the operating

system. Therefore, system services can run safely and stably.

The eSpace EMS server has the following security risks:

A large number of services and ports are opened during operating system installation,

which leaves the system vulnerable to malicious attacks.

No strict restrictions are imposed on the file rights and environment variables, which

increases security vulnerabilities of the system.

To achieve security hardening, you can add, modify, or tailor the modules and components of

the system, and shield and eliminate the defects and security vulnerabilities of the system.

Geographical Redundancy Capability

To ensure service continuity, establish the same service system of the PM in the RM. The PM

synchronizes data to the RM periodically. When a disaster such as fire or earthquake occurs in

the PM, services can be switched to the RM. This is called geographical redundancy.

Generally, the PM provides services. When a disaster occurs in the PM, the eSpace EMS

service can be switched manually to the RM, which reduces the service interruption duration.

When Linux is used, the eSpace EMS provides GDR to support geographical redundancy.
