Depending on the use case, storage of the usage data is required for the operation of a Public Spot. This data can be stored to a SYSLOG server, for example. Some SYSLOG servers are available as free software.
To save user data from a Public Spot by means of SYSLOG, the external SYSLOG server has to be configured in the respective Public Spot. Once this is done, messages are sent for logging to the SYSLOG server whenever Public Spot user accounts are created or deleted, and at the beginning and end of Public Spot sessions. The message issued at the end of a session—with the source "Login" and the priority "Information"—also includes information on the transferred data volumes and the IP address used.
Anmerkung: Further information on the configuration of SYSLOG is to be found in the LCOS Reference Manual. You can find legal information about this topic in the LANCOM techpaper "Public Spot" which is available at www.lancom-systems.de/en/publications/products.
