Using Network Accounting › Log Destinations

Log Destinations

Network accounting statistics are logged separately from the other log data to one of the log destinations (no multiple destinations). Also, network session accounting (NSA) statistics are logged separately from the network gateway accounting (GWA) statistics. You can print the information from these accounting records in batch reports.

Network Statistics

Network statistics include the following items:

• Number of bytes sent during the session
• Number of bytes received during the session
• Number of path information units (PIUs) sent during the session
• Number of PIUs received during the session

Network statistics also include the following session information:

• SLU name

  Secondary logical unit, a specific or generic terminal name, or a specific or generic application name.

• PLU name

  Primary logical unit, the ACB name, or real VTAM name of the application.

• Associated PU name

  Name of the PU used by this session.

• Associated line name

  Name of the line used by this session.

• Associated NCP name

  Name of the NCP used by this session.

• Host name

  Name of the host on which the region is running.

• Network name

  Name of the network being monitored.

• SLU and PLU network addresses

  Network addresses of the LU name and application name.

• Session start time

  The start time of a session.

• Session end time

  The end time of a session.

• VR, ER, TP

  Virtual and explicit routes and transmission priority for the session.

• PIU distribution thresholds

  Target buckets for six PIU sizes (NCP Versions 4.3.1 and 5.2.1).

Gateway information (NCP Versions 4.3.1 and 5.2.1) also includes:

• Adjacent network ID of PLU
• Adjacent network ID of SLU
• PIU size distribution thresholds (NCP Versions 4.3.1 and 5.2.1), which define up to six possible PIU size ranges for a network session
• ALIAS names for the PLU/SLU
