Managing Accounting

Changing the Accounting Threshold

Use the ACCOUNTING THRESHOLD command to specify the point in the building of a log when the accounting component sends out a threshold notification.Valid values for the ACCOUNTING THRESHOLD variable are:

∙NONE: No notification.

∙HALF: Notify when each half of the log file is reached.

∙QUARTER: Notify when each quarter of the log file is reached.

∙EIGHTH: Notify when each eighth of the log file is reached.

∙END: Notify when the end of the log file is reached.

Entries are inserted in the log file progressively (with wrapping) and when the specified points in the buffer are reached, notifications are sent. These notifications are in the form of SNMP traps.

Example: Changing the Accounting Threshold

The following example shows the use of the DEFINE ACCOUNTING THRESHOLD command:

Local> DEFINE ACCOUNTING THRESHOLD EIGHTH

Changing the Accounting Console

Use the DEFINE ACCOUNTING CONSOLE command to display accounting events on the server console. If ENABLED, the accounting component displays accounting events on the server console port as they occur. Be sure to set the server console port to the desired value (CHANGE SERVER CONSOLE n).

Example: Changing the Accounting Console

The following example shows the use of the DEFINE ACCOUNTING CONSOLE command:

Local> DEFINE ACCOUNTING CONSOLE ENABLED
