Hi Adrian,

 

 

I would only log once per connection in SERVER_CONNECTED--not in both SERVER_CONNECTED and SERVER_CLOSED. If you want to log this for every connection, in production, you should consider logging directly to a syslog server (or syslog pool). In 10.1+, you can use the HSL::send command to do this:

For older versions, you can log remotely with the log command:
