Custom Log Data

[darkoth]

I'm curious how I would go about creating a log that does this:

I have the Log file name as: %H.log which is the hostname. I'm happy with that.

I have it start a log upon connect and append to the file. That way if I ever need to go back and see what I did for the host, I simply bring up the file. Now in order for me to see what and when it was I am using custom log data

Upon Connect: ============================================= NEW SESSION ON %M/%D @ %h:%m ===================================================

Upon Disconnect: ============================================= SESSION END ON %M/%D @ %h:%m ===================================================


However it kind of jumbles up the log. I am wondering how to make the Upon Connect and Disconnect lines span more than 1 line and also enter a carriage return.

So I'd see something like this:

==============================================================================================================================
============================================= NEW SESSION ON 09/10 @ 09:31 ===================================================
==============================================================================================================================

# exit

==============================================================================================================================
============================================= SESSION END ON 09/10 @ 09:31 ===================================================
==============================================================================================================================

So there is a carriage return right after the first custom log stuff is sent and then again before the session end lines and after to break it up some.

Hi Darkoth,

Thanks for posting your idea. I can see how a newline would help. I've added your suggestion to our request database and we'll post a follow up message if it's added to a future version. If you'd like e-mail notification as well, please let us know.
