Appendix K.2 File access logs

This subsection describes the logging information collected for file accesses performed in the File Transfer window, and the format of the output information.

The file access log files allow you to view a history of operations, such as the copying or deletion files and the creation of folders. The controller log file is output to RcHstCFT.log. The agent log file is output to RcHstSFT.log.

You can select which logs are to be output and what kind of information is to be output. For a controller, you configure the settings in the Logging page that is displayed by choosing Options in the File Transfer window. For an agent, you set up Remote Control Agent. For details on how to configure these settings on a controller, see 4.3.9(4) Logging page. For details on how to configure these settings on agents, see 3.4.6 File transmission settings. For each controller and agent, the default setting is not to output log information.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Log output directory
(2) Logging format
(3) Output information
(4) Output examples of file access logs

(1) Log output directory

Log information about file access is output to the following destinations.

Note that agent log information is also output to the controller.

For Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista
Controller
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\hitachi\jp1rcmgr\log\RcHstCFT.log
Agent
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\hitachi\jp1rcagt\log\RcHstSFT.log

For Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000#
Controller
%SYSTEMDRIVE%:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\hitachi\jp1rcmgr\log\RcHstCFT.log
Agent
%SYSTEMDRIVE%:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\hitachi\jp1rcagt\log\RcHstSFT.log

For Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, and Windows 98
Controller
\Remote-Control-Manager-installation-directory\log\RcHstCFT.log
When Remote Control Manager is installed in the default directory, log information is output to the following file:
C:\Program Files\hitachi\jp1rcmgr\log\RcHstCFT.log
Agent
\Remote-Control-Agent-installation-directory\log\RcHstSFT.log
When Remote Control Agent is installed in the default directory, log information is output to the following file:
C:\Program Files\Hitachi\jp1rcagt\log\RcHstSFT.log

#
The Application Data directory is not displayed by default.

To display the Application Data directory, change the view settings as follows:

  1. Double-click the My Computer icon.
  2. From the Tools menu, choose Folder Options.
  3. From the View tab, select the Advanced area's Show hidden files and folder option.
  4. Click the OK button.

These settings can also be changed from Windows Explorer or Control Panel's Folder Options.

You can also manage log data by generation. The default number of generations is 0. If you set the number to 1 or above, the file name (RcHCFT or RcHSFT) will be replaced with the generation number.

Example
Setting 1 : RcHCFT01.log
Setting 20: RcHCFT20.log

When the number of lines in a log file exceeds the maximum, a new log file xxxxxx01.log is created and the old log file is renamed xxxxxx02.log (xxxxxx is RcHCFT or RcHSFT). Thereafter, each time a new log file is created, the generation number at the end of the old log file name increases by one. When the number of created generations exceeds the maximum, the oldest log file is deleted.

(2) Logging format

The following describes the logging format of file access logs with the use of an output example.

Figure K-2 Logging format of file access logs

[Figure]

(a) Counter section

Represents the line number for which a log has been output. Columns 1 to 10 contain the counter section's header, and columns 12 to 15 contain the final logging number. For example, in DATA COUNT 0006, DATA COUNT is the header, and 0006 represents the final output line number.

(b) Log information section

The log information section starts with the second line and is output in the CSV format. Each entry has 14 fields, including the line number, output date and time, and operation and object names. They are described in the following format:

Logging format
[Figure]
0001
Represents the line number in a value from 0001 to 9999.
MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss:nnn
Represents the date and time when the operation was performed.
MM/DD/YYYY indicates the date, and hh:mm:ss:nnn indicates the time. nnn indicates a value in milliseconds.
operation
Represents the type of operation. For details about the displayed items, see Table K-3.
object-type
Represents the type of the object on which the operation was performed.
  • D: Folder
  • F: File
  • Unknown: The object type cannot be identified.
object-name
Represents the name of the object that performed the operation or on which the operation was performed.
Requestor information
Represents information about the machine that performed the operation on the object. This information corresponds to items 6 to 9 above.
  • IP-address (or host-name#1)
  • target-folder
  • attribute
  • user-name#2

Represents information about the machine on which the operation was performed on the object. This information corresponds to items 10 to 13 above.
  • IP-address (or host-name#1)
  • target-folder
  • attribute
  • user-name#2
details
Represents the authentication user for remote control during connection. If an access error occurs, a system error code is output.

#1
When a controller is connected by specifying the host name of an agent, the host name is displayed if name resolution fails.

#2
Information is output only when both the controller and the agent versions are 08-00 or later.

(4) Output examples of file access logs

The following provides an example of outputting file access logs. In this example, a controller and an agent are defined as follows:

Controller
  • IP address: 10.100.100.1
  • Desktop logon user name: Admin

Agent
  • IP address: 10.100.100.2
  • Desktop logon user name: User

The example assumes that the following operations were performed between the controller and the agent.

  1. ABC.txt in D:\Temp on the controller was moved to C:\temp on the controller.
  2. ABC.txt in C:\Temp on the controller was moved to D:\temp on the agent.
  3. An attempt to copy ABC.txt in C:\Temp on the controller to A: on the agent failed (The operation was canceled after the error occurred (error code 21)).

The following indicates the file access logs output in this example.

(a) File access logs output on the controller
