Appendix C.2 Audit log save format

This section explains the format used to save audit logs. Audit logs are output to NETMAuditManagern.LOG. When the amount of log file output reaches a specified level, the file name is changed, the log file is saved, and a new log is written in a newly created file that has the original name. When this log file switching occurs, NETMAuditManager1.LOG is changed to NETMAuditManager2.LOG and then NETMAuditManager1.LOG is newly created to write logs. When NETMAuditManager1.LOG reaches the requisite level, the previously saved NETMAuditManager2.LOG is changed to NETMAuditManager3.LOG, and NETMAuditManager1.LOG is changed to NETMAuditManager2.LOG and saved.

In this way, the names of the saved log files are changed to names whose final element is incremented by 1. The larger the value associated with a log file name, the older the file is. When the number of log files reaches a specified value, log files are deleted beginning with the oldest.

You specify during setup the amount of data to be output to each log and the log file output destination. For details about how to specify audit log output, see 4.2.21 Audit Log page in the manual Setup Guide.
