Logs

Log files provide a complete record of each FindFace Security component activity. Consulting logs is one of the first things you should do to identify a cause for any system problem.

Component	Command to view log
findface-extraction-api	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep extraction-api
findface-sf-api	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep sf-api
findface-tarantool-server	sudo tail -f /var/log/tarantool/shard-00*
findface-video-manager	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep video-manager
findface-video-worker	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep video-worker
findface-security	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep findface-security
findface-ntls	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep ntls
findface-security	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep security
etcd	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep etcd
pgbouncer	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep pgbouncer
findface-counter	sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep counter

You can also consult audit log for each component. To do so, use the journalctl -u <component> command, for example:

journalctl -u findface-extraction-api

Important

In order to enable saving audit logs to your hard drive, uncomment and edit the Storage parameter in the /etc/systemd/journald.conf file:

sudo vi /etc/systemd/journald.conf
...
[Journal]
Storage=persistent

If necessary, uncomment and edit the SystemMaxUse parameter as well. This parameter determines the maximum volume of log files on your hard drive (10% by default).

SystemMaxUse=15

To view the FindFace Security audit logs, execute the following command:

journalctl -o verbose SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=ffsecurity

When interpreting audit logs, first of all pay attention on the following parameters:

• REQUEST_USER: user who made the changes;
• REQUEST_PATH: URL of the request;
• REQUEST_DATA: detailed information of the request.

In the log below, the admin user creates a dossier id=1879:
