Viewing the Accesslog

You can schedule automatic uploads of completed accesslogs with the accesslog copy
command; a completed accesslog is one that has reached its set rotate criteria (default is
filesize-MB = 100). Only completed accesslogs can be uploaded with the accesslog
copy command, to see accesslogs more frequently you might want to reduce the
maximum filesize with this command accesslog rotate filesize-MB 1. In that way, after an
accesslog reaches 1 megabyte (rather than the default 100 megabytes) it uploads
automatically to the specified URL.
To immediately complete and upload an accesslog, run this command accesslog copy
scp://<URL>, followed by the service restart accesslog command. Now you can access
the compressed accesslog at the specified system, move it (if needed), uncompress it,
and view its contents.
The default log filename format is <logfile>.#.yyyymmdd_hour:min:sec; you can
change that with the filename command.
To view the Media Flow Controller accesslog:
•
Web interface—Media Flow Controller accesslog entries are available for viewing on the
Web interface Logs > Service Logs page.

Choose all to upload all existing accesslogs. Default is current. See
page 30
