    Some logs which may be useful to look at and what to expect.

     

    /var/log/messages   = Starting/stopping of Gateway, private authentication, problems in starting of gateway

    /var/log/secure = commands entered at the terminal, all messages pertaining to authentication

    /var/log/bash_commands.log =  bash commands entered at the terminal and all activities from gateway main menu

    /opt/SecureSpan/Controller/var/logs =  messages generated by controller

    /opt/SecureSpan/Gateway/node/default/var/logs/ssg* = further gateway logs after startup

    The audit logs ofcouse where ever you have pointed to save them.
