SessionLog

The SessionLog Expert allows viewing of "near time" or current time sessions, that is, sessions that are either currently active or have recently happened. The definition of "recently" is determined by the installation and is set in the parameters for the FTP or SMF exits. SessionLog requires that the FTP and SMF exits have been previously installed on the host.

SessionLog divides data into four logs under two categories: FTP and Telnet/API.

FTP

 

FTP SMF Log

Provides details on completed FTPs.

FTP Error Log

Subset of the FTP SMF Log that provides detail on FTP errors.

FTP Server Activity Log

Shows commands entered for completed and in-progress FTPs.

Telnet and API

 

TELNET SMF Log

Shows the details on Telnet sessions that are completed or are still active. Logon and logoff events are captured.

API SMF Log

Details API sessions that are completed or still active by capturing the initiation and termination events. It includes all socket-attached applications.
