Extended Logging Properties

Use the following window to specify which fields are logged. If you are using EtherneTV
Reporter, all fields must be selected.
The items in parentheses (e.g.

cs-username

) refer to

the header field shown in the actual log file (see Figure 11 below). The fields are self-
explanatory and most are standard W3C fields. (See

http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-

logfile.html

for more about W3C log file formats.) Note that the fields used in each log will

vary slightly and unused fields are marked with a hyphen "-". Note that the following non-
standard fields may be incompatible with some reporting tools and can be de-selected:

x-address

,

x-port

, and

x-duration

. For best results with log analysis tools, do not de-select any

other fields.

Enable Access Logging Sets access logging on or off. Default = off. The log files are saved

in

Log Cycle Time

New log files can be created daily, weekly, or when the file reaches
a certain size. Old files are never deleted or written over.

Log File Directory

machine as the Portal Server or on a different machine in the same
network.
