How to Confirm Connections and Assignments in the Logs

Use the logs on the CTS machine to confirm that CTS has successfully connected with the foreign clinical assignment system and that it is receiving assignments.

CTS maintains logs in the \vocera\logs directory. The date and time that the each log file was created is specified in the file name as vcts-log-<date>-<time>.txt. CTS creates a new log at midnight every night, as long as an assignment client is connected.

To confirm connections and assignments in the CTS logs:

  1. On the CTS machine, navigate to the \vocera\logs directory and open the most recent log file in a text editor.

  2. Search for the string assignmentClientProperties.

  3. Confirm that the logs reference the connection you are looking for.

    For example, for a Rauland connection you should see the name, source, subscription URI, and other values you provided in the connection definition.

  4. Search for a role that the connection should have assigned, and confirm that you see an action such as "Member update" and a Resolution such as "Accepted"

    For example, if you are expecting an assignment for Room 105 Bed 1 LPN, you should see entries such as the following in the logs:
