Chapter 12
If you disable NNTP and ICP log splitting, NNTP and ICP transactions are placed in the same log file as HTTP
and FTP transactions. Using the previous example hosts and assuming the Squid log format, Traffic Server
generates these log files:
Log file name
squid-uni.edu.log
squid-company.com.log
squid.log
Traffic Server also enables you to create XML-based custom log formats that offer even greater control over
log file generation based on protocol and hostname. For more information, see
page 103.
