Logging - iPlanet
Overview
This article provides a brief overview of how to configure logging for an iPlanet webserver to facilitate proper processing and reporting for Urchin.
Use "Netscape" type for Log Source setting.
There is a set of minimally required fields necessary for Urchin to produce reports. They are:
- date
- time
- hostname or ip address of requesting system
- request (i.e. what document did the requesting system ask from your webserver)
- status code generated by request (numeric)
- bytes (bytes transferred from server to client)
In addition, for the most complete reporting you need the following fields:
- referral
- user-agent
- cookies (if the Urchin Traffic Monitor is installed on your site)
