Note The activity logging C API is included in the Lotus C API Toolkit for IBM® Lotus® Domino® and Notes. This public C API can be used to read activity data.

Activity records

Many sessions that the Domino server hosts last for an extended period of time. To avoid losing activity information, many activity types generate regular checkpoint records. For example, a two-hour Notes session creates eight records: one open record, six checkpoint records and one close record, assuming that the default checkpoint interval of 15 minutes is used. You need only review the most recent checkpoint record for any activity because each checkpoint record shows all logged activity data.

Billing methods

You will want to consider various billing methods based on your business requirements. Consider one of these billing methods:

• Number of users at the hosted organization site.
• Number of users at the hosted organization site, plus disk space usage.
• Actual use. To collect activity data by database, use activity logging. To collect the data by individual hosted organization, use the activity logging API to write a custom application that sorts the data by hosted organization. Then, you can bill each hosted organization accordingly.
