How to log all PuTTY sessions

Here's a quick tip on how to set up logging in PuTTY.  It's great for reviewing the changes made and for documentation purposes. 

1. Launch PuTTY and go to Logging.  I personally select All Session Output and also like to specify the Host, Month, Date, Year and Time of each log.  It makes the management of the logs easier.

ex.   E:\PuTTYLogs\&H_&M&D&Y_&T.log



2.  Now go up to Session, select Default Settings and click Save.

3. Test - SSH into a host and confirm a log files has been automatically created.
