Context config>log
Description This command creates the context to configure a file ID template to be used as a destination for an
event log or billing file.
This command defines the file location and characteristics that are to be used as the destination for a
log event message stream or accounting/billing information. The file defined in this context is
subsequently specified in the to command under log-id or accounting-policy to direct specific
logging or billing source streams to the file destination.
A file ID can only be assigned to either one log-id or one accounting-policy. It cannot be reused for
multiple instances. A file ID and associated file definition must exist for each log and billing file that
must be stored in the file system.
A file is created when the file ID defined in this command is selected as the destination type for a
specific log or accounting record. Log files are collected in a "log" directory. Accounting files are
collected in an "act" directory.
The file names for a log are created by the system as summarized in the table below:
