AUDITFILE * | filenameprefix
Arguments
*
Means that no audit log messages are written to a file.
filenameprefix
Specifies the prefix of the audit message file set. The actual audit file names are constructed from
filenameprefix, which is appended by a number controlled by the AUDITFILERETENTION
parameter.
Default
By default, no audit messages are written to a file ("*").

AUDITFILERETENTION
Use this parameter to control how many audit files SSH2 keeps when logfile rollover occurs.
Parameter Syntax
AUDITFILERETENTION n
Arguments
n
Specifies the number of audit files to keep.
Default
By default, 10 files are kept.
Considerations
• Setting the parameter to a value 0 disables log file retention.
• If log file retention is enabled, a minimum of 10 is enforced by this parameter.
• See section "Logfile/Auditfile Rollover" in the "Monitoring and Auditing" chapter for details on file rollover.
• The file security set for the current audit file (e.g. via FUP SECURE command) will be used for subsequently
created audit files. The very first audit file will have the default file security of user SUPER.SUPER.

to configure the audit format for console and file
independently.
