Global Logging SSH sessions

1 vote

Hello,

is there a global log function in RDM for SSH sessions (like in PuTTY) in order to set variables such as:

&H for Hostname
&Y for Year
&M for Month
&D for Date
&T for Time

for the printable output?


I know the "Logs" function in individual SSH sessions here:


However, I need a function (such as in PuTTY) to automatically set Hostname, Date, Time, etc. pp for the file name in the Log path when I open the SSH session.

But I need a global function because there are hundreds of SSH sessions - to edit every session is difficult.

Best regards,
Markus

Hello Markus,

You should be able to achieve this with the variable system in RDM. In your entry you should see in the bottom left a "variables" button that lists the supported variables.

In your case you would be interested in the date variables. Additionally, there is also a variable for $HOST$ that should return the host of the entry.

After you have a log path you like, you could use the batch edit feature to edit all your entries to use that value: https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/edit/batch-edit/
You could also leverage templates so that all further entries you create have certain values configured by default, like the logs: https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/concepts/intermediate-concepts/templates/

Let me know if this helps.
