Hi, I have two Samba domain controllers version 4.6.4 on Centos 7.3. I need to log every login/logout from windows PCs and I read on the wiki that I have to set log level >=3, this works. The problem is that my log.samba is filled by internal DNS messages, most of them about forwarding. in my smb.conf: log level = 3 auth:10 vfs objects = full_audit I googled around but I cannot find anything to avoid this. Please help me! Thanks

For logout, it won't be really possible to have a definitive information from the AD point of view. But you can probably script something on your desktop and send it back to the server (if the network connection is still up...)

Thanks Denis, I was looking for the option 'dns:x' in the wiki but I didn't find it. Now it works. I used log level = 3 auth:3 dns:0 auth_audit:3 gives me unknown class message But where I can find a complete list of classes for log level? I'll also give a try on the last version of samba with json.
