time, you can enable the eSpace EMS to lock the client automatically. If the screen is
locked, you need to enter the password to unlock the client.
User Session Monitoring
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.

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.
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.
Secondary development of documentation and MIB files can be provided to third-party
vendors.

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.

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