The security log maintains a history of administrator login activity generated by the administrative servers. A separate log is maintained for each administrative server. If you access these logs through the master metadata server (either from the SAN File System console or the administrative command-line interface, you see a consolidated view of the logs for each administrative server in the cluster, ordered by date and time. If you access these logs through a subordinate metadata server (from the administrative command-line interface), you see only the logs for the administrative server that is running on the same engine as that particular metadata server.
