START_CONNECTION or END_CONNECTION

[Daniel_Kavan]

Does check point log START_CONNECTION or END_CONNECTION in their logs?    I'm just seeing SSH version2 traffic, but NOT START or END_CONNECTION.  Am I missing something?    I may need more extensive logging (accounting) or a capture packet for that, correct?

From Phoneboy:

"When you enable accounting on a rule (which must be done per rule), it logs the bytes/duration of the relevant flow.
In general this data is updated every 10 minutes and after the connection closes."
