EMS Log Format

SiteMinder logs EMS events to a text file using the following format. In the format example, literal strings are shown in bold type:

lpszTimeString: Category lpszCat (nCategoryId), 
      Event lpszEvent (nEventId)
   Username szUserName, SessionId szSessionId
   DirectoryName szDirName
   ObjectName szObjName, ObjectClass szObjClass, 
      ObjectPath szObjPath
   Organization szOrgName, Role szRoleName
   Description: szFieldDesc
   Status: szStatusMsg

Elements in the preceding format example are described as follows:

lpszTimeString is the timestamp of the occurrence of the event, in the format: [<date>/<month>/<year>:<hour>:<minute>:<second>
<difference from GMT>]. For example:
```
[27/Jun/2000:11:27:29 -0500]
```
nCategoryId contains the category ID, and lpszCat contains the corresponding category name.
nEventId contains the EMS event ID, and lpszEvent contains the corresponding event name.

The remaining fields, shown in italics, are members of the structure SmLog_EMS_t.
