Reference Guide › Audit Log Records › Audit Event Types › Logout Event

Logout Event

Valid on UNIX

Logout events describe an attempt to log out from CA ControlMinder or a CA ControlMinder protected host.

Note: Logout events are only supported on UNIX. CA ControlMinder does not actually intercept logout. Instead, it assumes logout occurs when the last process for the session terminates.

Audit records in this event have the following format:

Date Time Status Event UserName SessionID Details Reason Terminal AuditFlags

Date

Identifies the date the event occurred.

Format: DD MMM YYYY

Note: CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management formats the date display according to your computer's settings.

Time

Identifies the time the event occurred.

Format: HH:MM:SS

Note: CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management formats the time display according to your computer's settings.

Status

Indicates that a user logout occurred.

Value: O (Logout)

Event Type

Identifies the type of event this record belongs to.

Note: CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management refers to this field simply as Event.

User Name

Identifies the name of the accessor that performed the action that triggered this event.

User Logon Session ID

Identifies the accessor's session ID.

Note: By default this field does not appear in a non-detailed seaudit output. To display this field in a non-detailed seaudit output, specify the -sessionid option in the seaudit command.

Details

Indicates how the logout was detected.

Details

Indicates at which stage CA ControlMinder decided what action to take for this event.

Note: The audit record you see in a non-detailed seaudit output displays a number in this field. This number is known as the authorization stage code. In a detailed output or in CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management, the audit record displays the message associated with the authorization stage code. For a complete list of stage codes, run seaudit -t.

Reason

Indicates the reason that CA ControlMinder wrote an audit record.

Note: This field does not display in a detailed seaudit output or in CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management. The audit record you see in a non-detailed seaudit output displays a number in this field. This number is known as the reason code. For a complete list of reason codes, run seaudit -t.

Terminal

Identifies the name of the terminal that the accessor used to connect to the host.

Audit Flags

Indicates whether the accessor is internal (CA ControlMinder database user) or an enterprise user.

Note: If the accessor is an enterprise user, the audit record you see in a non-detailed seaudit output displays the string "(OS user)" in this field. Otherwise, this field remains empty.

Example: Logout Event Message

The following audit record was taken from a detailed seaudit output.

29 Jan 2009 17:23:33 O LOGOUT       root                  49  2 computer.com
Event type: Logout
Status: Logout
User name: root
Terminal: computer.com
Date: 29 Jan 2009
Time: 17:23
Details: Logout detected after last process terminated
Audit flags: AC database user

This audit record indicates that on January 29th 2009, CA ControlMinder detected that the last session process for the user root working on the remote terminal computer.com has closed, and so assumes that the user logged out of the system (authorization stage code 49—Logout detected after last process terminated).
