116 Getting Results with Novell Web Services
You can customize access logging for any resource by specifying whether to
log accesses, which format to use for logging, and whether the server should
spend time looking up the domain names of clients when they access a
resource.
Server access logs can be in common logfile format, flexible log format, or
your own customized format. The Common Logfile Format is a commonly
supported format that provides a fixed amount of information about the server.
The flexible log format allows you to choose (from the Server Status form)
what to log. A customized format uses parameter blocks that you specify to
control what gets logged. Once an access log for a resource has been created,
you can't change its format unless you archive it or create a new access log
file for the resource.
To set access logging preferences, do the following:
1
From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server
servername > Server Status > Log Preferences.
2
Select the resource that you would like to apply custom logging to from
the Editing drop-down list.
3
Select whether to log client accesses.
4
Enter the full path in the Log File field.
By default, the log files are kept in the logs directory in the server root
directory. If you specify a partial pathname, the server assumes the path
is the logs directory in the server root.
5
Under Record, click Domain Names or IP Addresses.
6
In the Format list, select Common Logfile Format, flexible log format
(Only Log option), or Custom Format.
7
(Conditional) If you selected Only Log, you can select any or all of the
following flexible log format items in the checklist:
Client Host Name: The hostname (or IP address if DNS is disabled)
of the client requesting access.
Authenticate Username: The authenticated username is listed in the
access log if authentication is necessary.
System Date: The date and time of the client request.
Full Request: The exact request the client made.
