Accounting 23-15
Using the Accounting Console Logging Feature
Using the Accounting Console Logging Feature
Description
When console logging is enabled, the accounting component displays the accounting
events on the server console as they occur. This can be useful for viewing events on a
console terminal or printer. It is also possible to view (and log to a file) the console
events remotely. If you place a loopback connector on the access server console port
and associate a LAT service or Telnet listener with this port, you can connect to the
port and view the console messages remotely.
LAT Remote View of the Accounting Log
The following example shows the commands necessary to remotely view the
accounting log messages with a LAT service and loopback connector on port 16 of the
access server:
Local> CHANGE PORT 16 ACCESS REMOTE
Local> CHANGE PORT 16 AUTOBAUD DISABLED SPEED 57600
Local> CHANGE SERVICE ACCTREMOTE PORT 16 CONNECTION ENABLED
Local> CHANGE SERVER CONSOLE 16
Local> CHANGE SERVER SERVICE GROUP 255
From a remote OpenVMS system, type:
$ MCT LATCP SET NODE/GROUP=(ENABLE=255)
$ SET HOST/LAT/AUTOCONNECT/LOG=ACCT.LOG ACCTREMOTE
This causes the accounting events to be displayed on the remote screen and logged to
the file ACCT.LOG.
