Troubleshooting Commands
Auto-Attendant Prompts
Symptom: The custom auto-attendant prompt is not working.
Recommended Action  Verify that the prompt format is CCITT G.711 u-law, 8kHz, 8-bit, Mono.
Checking Log and Trace Files
To check the log and trace files on the flash memory, use the show logs command in Cisco Unity Express 
EXEC mode.
show logs
Logging and tracing to flash memory is turned off by default. Executing the log trace command starts 
the log and trace functions immediately.
The command displays the atrace.log and messages.log files. Each file has a fixed length of 10 MB, and 
tracing or logging stops automatically when the file reaches this length. New files overwrite the old files.
