Description

Log_Sessions enables logging of individual user sessions (logins, connections, disconnects) in log.nsf and on the console. This information is very valuable for license/audit purposes and for analyzing connection problems.

Example configuration

Log_Sessions=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • With many users, the console log becomes loud – size console rotation accordingly.
  • On pure application or web servers, often set to 0 to reduce noise.
  • Equivalent to Log all client events in the Configuration document (Diagnostics tab).
  • The entries appear in log.nsf in the Usage by User view.
