Log File Locations

File Transfer Audit Logs

If you have enabled file transfer auditing, logs are created by default in /opt/microfocus/rsit/etc/logs. You can configure a non-default location using AuditLog.Directory.

Login Information

The output location for login information is platform-dependent. For details refer to the following table.

Platform Login history Current login Failed login
RHEL /var/log/lastlog /var/log/wtmp /var/run/utmp /var/log/btmp
SLES /var/log/wtmp /var/run/utmp /var/log/btmp

Note

  • Some platforms write to more than one file.

  • On some Linux systems, btmp is not present. The server writes to this database if it is present.

The output for sshd and sftp-server messages is affected by both Reflection for Secure IT UNIX Client and Server configuration and syslogd configuration. For example, the following entry in /etc/syslog.conf configures a facility called local6 and sends output from that facility to /var/adm/rsit_log.

Note

This syntax shown requires a tab between the two entries.

local6.info  /var/adm/rsit_log

To configure Reflection for Secure IT UNIX Client and Server to send sshd messages to the local6 facility, include the following line in the server configuration file (/opt/microfocus/rsit/etc/sshd2_config).

SysLogFacility local6
