Logging of Events

Whether or not security events are properly logged is a function of the LOG option which can be issued globally or by facility. Facility logging overrides the global LOG option.

Although the following procedure provides basic checks which must be made to ensure that the LOG options are set correctly, the actual settings for the LOG option vary from site to site, and from facility to facility. Refer to the Planning Guide and the LOG control option in the Control Options Guide to ensure the proper implementation and use of the LOG control option.

These procedures assume that the reader can use TSSUTIL to obtain logging reports. Refer to the Reporting Guide if unfamiliar with this utility.
