Logging

Use this panel to configure your FTP logging preferences. FTP makes use of both the SMF facility and system SYSLOGD facility to log specific FTP events. Both methods of logging are configured from this panel.

Before you begin, understand if you want to log events using SMF records or using the system logging daemon, SYSLOGD.

Steps

  1. If you do not want to log FTP events using SMF records, select "Do not use SMF to log FTP events".
  2. If you want to log FTP events using SMF records, select "Log all FTP events: (SMF)", and select the "All Type 119 records" check box. This is the recommended choice for SMF logging.
  3. Advanced users desiring SMF records may want to log only certain FTP events, or may want to use Type 118 records. These options are also available. If you want to log only certain FTP events, select "Log selected events" and click the "Event List..." button.
  4. If you want to log events using the system logging facility, SYSLOGD, check the box labeled, "Log activity related to logins".

You have completed this panel when you have completed your SMF logging and SYSLOGD logging decisions.
