Notes

P4AUDIT specifies the location of the audit log file.

When auditing is enabled, the server adds a line to the audit log file every time file content is transferred from the server to the client. On an active server, the audit log file will grow very quickly.

Lines in the audit log appear in the form:

date time user@client clientIP command file#rev

For example:

2006/05/09 09:52:45 karl@nail 192.168.0.12 diff //depot/src/x.c#1
2006/05/09 09:54:13 jim@stone 127.0.0.1 sync //depot/inc/file.h#1

If a command is run on the machine that runs the Perforce Server, the clientIP is shown as 127.0.0.1.
