Verify KMIP Logs are Generated in ESKM

Ensure that the ESKM appliance is actively generating KMIP server logs. This verifies that the logging infrastructure is operational and will provide data to the connector.

  1. Sign in to the ESKM Management Console as an administrator.

  2. Navigate to Device Logs & Statistics Log Viewer KMIP (path may vary by ESKM version).

  3. Check that KMIP Logs are present and contain recent entries.

  4. Verify the logs include operational events such as authentication, key operations, and connection events.

KMIP logs

KMIP server logs are visible with recent entries.

KMIP logs are generated when a KMIP client is configured and interacts with the KMIP server. If logs are empty, ensure that a KMIP client is configured to connect to the server. For testing purposes, you can also disable and then enable the KMIP server to generate a startup/shutdown log entry.
