Logging Options

Full logging support is available and can be specified on a global basis through the LOG control option, or on a facility basis through the suboption of the FACILITY control option. Details regarding the operation and assignment of logging can be found in the Control Options Guide.

The logging options are:

ACTIVITY

Logs all activity

INIT

Logs all signon and signoff activity

ACCESS

Logs all resource accesses

ALL

Selects all Log options

NONE

Deactivates logging

MSG

Requests writing of all violation messages to a user's terminal

SEC9

Requests violation messages be routed to security console (route code 9)

ALL and ACTIVITY generate large amounts of data. If these options are selected, verify that enough space has been allocated to prevent loss of data. For this reason, and for ease of reporting, the CA Top Secret Audit/Tracking File should be used for all violation and auditing purposes.
