English term

system and network accounting

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology)
Hello! I'm translating a text about IT Support Center and I don't know whether "contabilidad" fits here.
According to thefreedictionary, network accounting is "The reporting of network usage. It gathers details about user activity including the number of logons and resources used", but I can't find an appropriate translation.
I'd appreciate your help.

This is the full sentence "Suspicious entries in system or network accounting (e.g., a UNIX user obtains root access without going through the normal sequence necessary to obtain this access)"

“contabilidad del sistema y la red”.


Hello,

You want to know the translation of systems and network accounting to Spanish.

The normal translation is “contabilidad del sistema y la red”.

In the technology, we talk about “accounting”. This is normal term in IT. You will find different technical books that refer this term.

Regards

Domingo

For example: The Novell's Dictionary of Networking written by Peter Dyson and published by Novell Press says about: “accounting: The process of tracking the resources used on a network. The network administration can charge for blocks read, blocks written, connect time, disk storage, and services requests by assigning account balances to users. The users can then draw from their account balances as they use network services.”

It is normal that the big data centers and networks that are sharing resources among different users process a system and network accounting software to charge fees according the individual use of the resources of each user.

The idea to make the accounting of the resources comes from the times of the first data centers that processed applications for different users (different departments of the same company) or different companies associated or independent enterprises.

I hope this explanation helps you in your work.

Regards

Domingo

También puede ser "sistema de administración de cuentas de redes y usuarios"
Note from asker:
Muchas gracias por tu aporte, pero hay otras partes en el texto donde hablan de "network management" y creo que en ese caso sí sería administración de redes
