8950 AAA logging is divided into two separate functional parts:
1. Log message generation
The following three factors determine when a log message is created:
a. Log Area
The Log Area is a limited wildcard pattern (see note below) used to indicate a
program area. 8950 AAA is divided into several program areas. Each 8950 AAA
program area performs a specific function. For example, accessing external files,
request queue management, request decoding, command execution, plug-in
execution, etc. Each program area contains software instructions that determine
when a log message should be created.
b. RADIUS Request Expression
The RADIUS Request Expression is a limited wildcard pattern used for filtering
messages. It is optional.
