22.1.4 WCAP Command and HTTP Access Logging

Two configuration parameters that facilitate debugging enable logging of incoming commands and HTTP accesses. Add one or both of these parameters to the ics.conf file to activate the logging:

• service.http.commandlog = "yes" — The cshttpd process creates a file, http.commands, in the logs directory. The log contains each .shtml or .wcap command received by the server, including all parameters of each command.

• service.http.commandlog.all = "yes" — The cshttpd process creates a file, http.access, in the logs directory. The log contains each HTTP request received by the system.

The log files can grow very quickly and fill the available disk space. Monitor them carefully to avoid problems. Choose a period of low activity on your systems to run with these commands enabled. Performance will drop noticeably if run during peak hours. Always disable the two commands when you are finished troubleshooting.
