Working with the server activity log

The server activity log records all activity on the server. You can use this log to
document the users who connect to the server, the date and time of the activity,
and any pertinent information regarding the activity, such as the type of
activity and errors.

The server activity log can also be used for accounting purposes, for example
to charge connection costs back to departments or projects. It can be exported
to a tab-delimited text file.
