SecureCRT's logging settings allow the use of variables to define the filename/path. I've configured my default session to log every session whether I'm troubleshooting or just poking around. I also have a custom windows environment variable that points%SessionLogs% to the directory of my choosing. SecureCRT – a commercial implementation with a free trial for Windows, Mac and Linux OpenSSH command line client (the ssh command) – an open source implementation typically included with MacOS and Linux distributions.
Session logging can prove extremely useful when recollecting events during troubleshooting scenarios or even configuration-binges. SecureCRT's logging settings allow the use of variables to define the filename/path. I've configured my default session to log every session whether I'm troubleshooting or just poking around.
Ssh Login Command
I also have a custom windows environment variable that points
%SessionLogs%
to the directory of my choosing. This permits me to sync my sessions folder across multiple computers and VMs without having to worry about maintaining a similar directory structure on all of them.Tip: For troubleshooting, I also like maintain a Notepad++ file or quick handwritten notes with timestamps for significant events, so I can cross-reference them with my timestamped SecureCRT logs.

Considerations
Ssh Remote Script
- Using Notepad++ I can use
CTRL-F
and select Find All in Current Document to find events like !!!!!CONNECT, !!!!!DISCONN, <hostname>#, etc. - The
%COMPUTERNAME%
environment variable is used because my SecureCRT config folder is synced across my workstations/jumpboxes that all write to the same SessionLogs folder, which is also synced; this separates the log files based on the computer I was connecting from.
