## About Accounting Log Information

This section describes the KMC accounting log messages.

The accounting.log file in the DCNM-SAN log directory displays the KMC accounting log messages. The accounting log records key-related operations, their resulting status, and any related information.

The log files are stored in a relational database and are searchable, archivable, and portable.

A log entry consists of the following information:

• hostname—The name of the host machine where the operation occurred.

• timestamp—The time at which an event was recorded to the accounting log system.

• username—The username associated with the operation.

• clusterName—The name of the cluster the operation was performed on.

• clusterId—The ID of the cluster the operation was performed on.

• operation—The type of operation.

• status—The status of the operation when the event was logged.

• details—Additional data, depending on the type of operation.

Figure 1-5 shows an example of the accounting log information.
