Accounting log files are created in the \act-collect directory on a compact flash device
(specifically cf1 or cf2 ). The naming convention for accounting log files is nearly the same as for
log files except the prefix act is used instead of the prefix log . The naming convention for
accounting logs is:
act aaff-timestamp.xml.gz
where:
aa
is the accounting policy ID
ff is the log file destination ID
timestamp
is the timestamp when the file is created in the form of yyyymmdd
-
hhmmss
where:
yyyy is the four-digit year (for example, 2007)
mm is the two digit number representing the month (for example, 12 for December)
dd is the two digit number representing the day of the month (for example, 03 for the
3rd of the month)
hh is the two digit hour in a 24-hour clock (for example, 04 for 4 a.m.)
mm is the two digit minute (for example, 30 for 30 minutes past the hour)
ss is the two digit second (for example, 14 for 14 seconds)
Accounting logs are
.xml
files created in a compressed format and have a
.gz
extension.
The \act-collect directory is where active accounting logs are written. When an accounting log is
rolled over, the active file is closed and archived in the \act directory before a new active
accounting log file created in \act-collect .
