Access request result log file
Description
When enabled, the terminal creates a record for each access request in a local log file.
Each record includes:
• the date and the time of record creation (when access control result is known),
• the user’s identifier (if available)
• the access control process executed (Identification, Authentication with biometric
check, ..)
• the result of the access control (granted or denied, and if denied for which reason),
• And other data used for statistical reasons
The format of a log record is described in the MorphoAccess® Host System Interface
Specification document.
Log File management
Three commands are available for log file management:
• A command which return the current status of the log feature (enabled/disabled,
number of records)
• A command which returns the content of the log file
• A command that delete the log file
For more information about these commands, refer to the MorphoAccess® Host
System Interface Specification document.
Log File size
The capacity of the log file is 8 000 records.
When the log file is full, the terminal automatically stops the addition of new records,
but new access requests are allowed.
If requested by the specific configuration keys, the terminal can sent a “log file full”
warning message to a distant system.
The format of the “Log file full warning” message is described in the MorphoAccess®
Remote Messages Specification document.
