Re: How to know which CA client(IP address) modified a PV

[LiangChih Chiang via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

I tried caPutLog and succeeded.

Need more time to configure the access security file to restrict what to log.

I can't find the document of the pvlogging module.

Is there any?

Thanks.

 

caPutLog seems to be a satisfying solution. I will give it a try.

 

The log messages include host information as the following excerpt from the documentation:

 

    The actual log message sent from the IOC has this format:  

    <iocLogPrefix><date> <time> <host> <user> <pv> <change>

Haven't used it myself, but there's caPutLog:
