This page sets whether or not audit logs are to be output. If you set to output audit logs, you can also set information such as the output destination and output level of audit logs.

Figure 4-24 Audit Log page

Output audit logs

Select this check box to output audit logs. By default, this option is not set. When this option is selected, the audit log-related settings are enabled.

Output directory for audit logs

Specifies the directory to which audit logs are to be output, expressed as 4 to 127 bytes of characters and the symbols _, \, ., :, (, and ).

By default, no output-target directory is specified. For the specified output-target directory, you must grant write permission to the JP1/Software Distribution user.

The audit logs are output to the NETMAuditManagern.LOG file created directly under the directory that is specified here, where n indicates the generation number of the log file.

If the JP1/Software Distribution installation directory is specified as the audit log output directory, uninstalling JP1/Software Distribution will delete the audit logs. Specify the output directory that is appropriate to the audit log handling method that you use.

Number of managed log generations for audit logs

Specifies the number of generations in the range from 1 to 999 for the log file to which audit logs are output. The default is 10.

If the number of audit log entries to be output exceeds the value specified in Number of entries in the audit log, a new log file NETMAuditManager1.LOG is created and the old log file is renamed NETMAuditManager2.LOG. Thereafter, each time a new log file is created, the generation number of the old log file is incremented by 1. When the number of generations exceeds the set value, the oldest log file is deleted.

Number of entries in the audit log

Specifies the number of audit log entries to be output per file in the range from 500 to 9,999. The default is 2,000 entries.

Output level for audit logs

Selects the output level of audit logs. By default, Output by job is selected.

When Output by job is selected, the audit logs of job execution results are output for each job. Note that the following jobs and operations are not monitored from JP1/NETM/Audit - Manager:

• ID group jobs
• Periodic jobs
• Installation operation by Package Setup Manager

When Output by command is selected, the detailed audit logs of job execution results are output for each destination and each package.

If JP1/Software Distribution manages many clients and Output by command is selected, output of a large number of audit logs may result in a shortage of disk space.
