  • DURATION — Logs the length of time the service is used by a remote system (log_on_success).
  • EXIT — Logs the exit status or termination signal of the service (log_on_success).
  • HOST — Logs the remote host's IP address (log_on_failure and log_on_success).
  • PID — Logs the process ID of the server receiving the request (log_on_success).
  • USERID — Logs the remote user using the method defined in RFC 1413 for all multi-threaded stream services (log_on_failure andlog_on_success).
