Accounting Logs

Accounting Logs
Before an accounting policy can be created a target log file must be created to collect the
accounting records. The files are stored in system memory on compact flash (cf1:) in a compressed
(tar) XML format and can be retrieved using FTP or SCP.
A file ID can only be assigned to either one event log ID or one accounting log.

Accounting Records

An accounting policy must define a record name and collection interval. Only one record name
can be configured per accounting policy. Also, a record name can only be used in one accounting
policy.
The record name, sub-record types, and default collection period for service and network
accounting policies are shown below.

When creating accounting policies, one service accounting policy and one network accounting
policy can be defined as default. If statistics collection is enabled on a SAP or network port and no
accounting policy is applied, then the respective default policy is used. If no default policy is
defined, then no statistics are collected unless a specifically defined accounting policy is applied.
Each accounting record name is composed of one or more sub-records which is in turn composed
of multiple fields.
