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 a compact flash (cf3) in a
compressed (tar) XML format and can be retrieved using FTP or SCP.
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.
Table 29 lists the record name, sub-record types, and default collection period for service
and network accounting policies.
When creating accounting policies, one service accounting policy can be defined as the
default. If statistics collection is enabled on a SAP 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 are in turn
composed of multiple fields. Table 30 lists the accounting policy record names and the
statistics that are collected with each.
