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 15 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 Program Files\VBrick\MCS\Logs.
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 Specifies where the log files are saved. This can be on the same
machine as the Portal Server or on a different machine in the
same network.
Cycle Log File Click
Cycle Now to close the existing log files and create new files.
