Account log

Check the account log file for records that concern individual accounts.

To set whether accounting records are recorded by using SafeLinx Administrator, click the Accounting and billing tab on an MNI or messaging services properties notebook. Select the Packet check box.

For an MNI, you can control the level of account records logged by selecting all log levels or none, or one or more log levels.

If you want to store accounting records in a file or database, you must:
  1. In SafeLinx Administrator, right-click the SafeLinx Server and select Properties. On the Accounting and billing tab, make sure that the Write Accounting and billing records check box is selected. Then select the appropriate radio button to save accounting records to either the local file system or to a database.
  2. In SafeLinx Administrator, right-click the MNI and select Properties. Use the Accounting and billing tab to select the desired level of logging of accounts from the following list. If you select None, then account logging is disabled.

You can stop logging accounts on an individual MNI or for an entire SafeLinx Server. To stop logging of an account for an MNI, click the Accounting and billing tab on an MNI, then click None. To stop logging an account for a SafeLinx Server, click the Accounting and billing tab on a SafeLinx Server, then click Write accounting and billing records to the following.

After you clear the Write accounting and billing records to the following check box, you can still modify the relational database configuration or modify the path of the file.
