Monitoring Operations

HID Validation Authority records messages about system events to the system console, to log files and via email. You should consider configuring email notifications to ensure that you are promptly notified when any events occur that could compromise the security provided by Validation Authority.

You can configure the minimum severity level of errors about which Validation Authority will report to limit notifications only to those which require immediate attention. For more information, refer to the logging description in the HID Validation Authority Management Console Operations section.

Validation Authority provides a web-based method of monitoring the status of the Validation Authority server and critical components. You can use this feature in conjunction with third-party monitoring systems to ensure that you are notified of system failures.
