scope:

This Recommendation I 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 I ISO/IEC 7498-4. This CCITT Recommendation I International Standard defines the Log Control function and consists of services and two functional units. This function is positioned in the application layer of the CCITT Rec. X.200 I 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 I ISO/IEC 10040.

This CCITT Recommendation I 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 I 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
