Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the
issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that
Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the
Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this
information is supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’
and ‘Standards New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give
details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn
Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be
made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action
taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee IT/1
on Information Systems—Interconnection. It is identical with and has been reproduced from
ISO/IEC 10164-6:1993, Information technology—Open Systems Interconnection—Systems Management:
Log control function.
This Standard is issued as a Joint Standard under the terms of the Active Cooperation Agreement
between Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand.
The objective of this Standard is to provide users of OSI network management with a model and to
define the services provided for the log control function.
This Standard is Part 6 of AS/NZS 4152, Information technology—Open Systems Interconnection—
Systems management, which is published in the following parts (additional parts are being prepared):
Part 1: Object management function
Part 2: State management function

Part 3: Attributes for representing relationships

Part 4: Alarm reporting function
Part 5: Event report management function
Part 6: Log control function
Part 7: Security alarm reporting function
Part 8: Security audit trail function
This Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are currently
under development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor difficulties
encountered in their implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be providing, through
the OSI Help Desk, a service to coordinate and disseminate information concerning difficulties which
are identified in using this Standard.
Users of this Standard are advised by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand, under
arrangement made with ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, that the number
of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover and title pages.
For the purpose of this Standard, the source text should be modified as follows:
(a) Terminology The words ‘this Australian/New Zealand Standard’ should replace the words ‘this
International Standard’ wherever they appear.
(b) Decimal marker Substitute a full point for a comma where it appears as a decimal marker.
(c) References The references to international Standards should be replaced by references, where
appropriate, to the following Australian or Joint Australian/New Zealand Standards:

AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND STANDARD

Information technology—Open Systems Interconnection—

Systems management

Part 6:
Log control function

1 Scope
This Recommendation International Standard defines a Systems Management Function which may be used by
an application process in a centralized or decentralized management environment to interact for the purpose of
systems management, as defined by CCITT Rec. X.700 ISO/IEC 7498-4. This CCITT Recommendation
International Standard defines the Log Control function and consists of services and two functional units. This
This is a free 9 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

function is positioned in the application layer of the CCITT Rec. X.200 ISO/IEC 7498-1 and is defined
according to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions is described by
CCITT Rec. X.701 ISO/IEC 10040.

This CCITT Recommendation International Standard

— establishes user requirements for the Log Control function;

— establishes models that relate the services provided by the function to user requirements;

— defines the services provided by the function;

— specifies the protocol that is necessary in order to provide the services;

— defines the relationship between the services and SMI operations and notifications;

— defines relationships with other systems management functions;

— specifies conformance requirements.

This CCITT Recommendation International Standard does not

— define the nature of any implementation intended to provide the Log Control function;

— specify the manner in which management is accomplished by the user of the Log Control function;

— define the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the Log Control function;

— specify the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management
association;

— specify the authorization requirements for the use of the Log Control function or for any associated
activity;

— define the definitions of managed objects related to the management of particular protocol machines.

2 Normative references
The following CCITT Recommendations and International Standards contain provisions which, through reference
in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation International Standard. At the time of publication,
the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and Standards are subject to revision, and parties to
agreements based on this Recommendation International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility
of applying the most recent editions of the Recommendations and Standards listed below. Members of IEC and
