DMAUDIT Format 

The DMAUDIT file has a record width of 132 bytes and each record is in
the format:

     Type Year Day Time Message

For example:

     1 92 032 14:44 ACCOUNTS : GENERAL URGENT message backlog exceeded

Each of the above fields is described below.

Type 

May be one of the following numeric values:

0     An outgoing message generated on the local system.
1     An incoming message generated on a remote system and sent to this
      system over a network link.
2     An unexpected error message (explained below).
3     A DeskMon internally generated message.  For example, DeskMon
      initiation or termination.

A Type of 2 which represents an unexpected error message is reported by
DeskMon when it encounters unexpected errors during checking or
reporting.  DeskMon traps the error and reports it by sending a three
line message to the system console with the following format:

Line 1   The DeskMon process where the error was detected.  For example,
         DeskMon NS reporting error.
Line 2   The error that DeskMon encountered.  For example, Remote node
         XXXX not running DeskMon.
Line 3   The original message that DeskMon was trying to report when it
         encountered the error.

Year 

The last two digits of the century.  For example, 1992 would be
represented as 92.

Day 

The Julian day of the year.  For example, February 1 would be represented
as 032.

Time 

The time of day in the format HH:MM that the message was originally
generated.  For example, a message generated at 2:44 PM would be
represented as 14:44.

Message 

The actual message which DeskMon is trying to report.  All messages sent
by DeskMon are prefixed with the name of the computer on which they were
originally generated.  In the example above ACCOUNTS is the computer
generating the message, indicating that urgent mail for computer GENERAL
exceeds the configured limit.
