Detail of actions logged with “Informational” level in nxserver.log

[rrubio]

Hi,

working with 7.10.2, with information log level, I could not get any log different from “login”/ “logout”.

I tried recording a session, transferring files to server (which is my main purpose) and nothing was logged in nxserver.log.

I need to solve this issue and to know which actions are logged in nxserver.log

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,

Raul

Hi, logging of file transfer activity is available in version 8

This feature allows system administrators to audit all activities about transferring files from client to server and vice-versa. The log contains information like the file name, the direction of the transfer, the size in bytes, start and end dates, the result and the transfer rate, information which can be easily parsed by custom scripts.

The key to enable is:

#
# Enable or disable the creation of file transfer logs for auditing
# purposes. Logs contain the word ‘Audit’ and are logged also to
# server log file.
#
# 1: Enabled. File transfer operations are logged into server log.
#
# 0: Disabled. File transfer operations are not logged in server log.
# This is the default value.
#
#EnableAuditlogs 0

node.cfg

Session recording events is definitely something we can evaluate adding to extend and improve the current support for auditing.

In version 7 and onward, enabling log_level to ‘7’ will show all events useful for debugging. If you want to view details about user access, session ID etc, you can view this type of information by running ‘nxserver –history’. For example, you can read more about this here in the Enterprise Desktop guide: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00246.
