SMF type 119 Record - Subtype 94

This table shows the record layout for type 119 SMF records
(TCP/IP Statistics - OpenSSH Client Connection Started).

List of other SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

Purpose: OpenSSH writes SMF Type 119 records for file transfer activity and login failure information.

The kinds of SMF type 119 records for OpenSSH are:

  • Subtype 94 - Client connection started
  • Subtype 95 - Server connection started
  • Subtype 96 - Server transfer completion record
  • Subtype 97 - Client transfer completion record
  • Subtype 98 - Login failure record

Subtype 94 -- Client Connection Started

The SMF type 119 records utilize a common structure. Each record is organized as follows:

  • SMF header
  • Self-defining section containing pointers to:
  • TCP/IP identification section (identifies system, stack etc)
  • Sections containing the data for the record

It's easy to report on SMF 119 data! (Jump to sample reports)

SMF Spectrum Writer
We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus, Spectrum SMF Writer can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

Sample Report from SMF 119 Subtype 2 Records
Showing Information about TCP Connections


The sample SMF report below was created with Spectrum SMF Writer, the low-cost 4GL SMF report writer.

In this report, we read as input the SMF file and select just the type 119 subtype 2 TCP Connection Termination records. (See SMF 119 Subtype 2 record layout.) The report shows information about terminated TCP connections, including start time, end time and computed elapsed time. It also shows the total number of bytes sent and received during the connection and the termination code. Our record layout also expands the 1-byte termination code into a readable descriptive text. The report is grouped by TCP/IP Stack and Resource. The report includes subtotals for each Resource.

All of this with just a few lines of code!
