The Telnet SMF Log shows the details on Telnet sessions, either completed or still active. The data for this report is from the SMF exit. Logon/logoff events are captured. Both Telnet Client and Telnet Server sessions are reported. Telnet Server sessions refer to the use of Telnet on the mainframe. Telnet Client sessions refer to the use of a Telnet Server running at a remote IP host (address). You may filter the data to view only the Telnet sessions you wish, or you may simply press Submit for the latest entries. Use of a filter is recommended to provide a more meaningful display with a shorter processing time.
