Historical Log Files

Most of the log files, once opened, start again each day.

For example, the following command produces a log file in the logs directory of the form dsaname_yyyymmdd.log for each day there is activity on the DSA:

set summary-log = "logs/$S.log";

You can use these history files to inspect auditing, accounting, billing, and statistical information.
