Kirjauspisteen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun kirjauspiste, a compound of kirjaus (recording, logging) and piste (point). The term is used in contexts where a specific location or instance in a system is designated as a point where events are recorded or stored. As a grammatical form, kirjauspisteen functions to express possession or association, for example in phrases describing the data, role, or characteristics of that logging point.

Definition and scope

A kirjauspiste refers to a point within an information system, application, or process where log entries or audit records are created. It can denote hardware, software components, or procedural stages that generate or collect logging information. The possessive form kirjauspisteen indicates “of the logging point” or “the logging point’s.”

Usage

In technical documentation, kirjauspisteen rooli tarkoittaa the role of the logging point in monitoring and auditing. Common usages include references to kirjauspisteen tiedot (the data of the logging point), kirjauspisteen tapahtumat (the events at the logging point), or kirjauspisteen hallinta (the management of the logging point).

Context

The term is most relevant in information security, system administration, and data governance, where precise terminology around logging, auditing, and traceability is important. It is often used alongside other Finnish terms such as lokitus (logging) and auditointi (auditing) to describe processes and artifacts related to logs and event records.
