Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.14 Configuration File Reference

Parameters

The following table describes parameters for the flex-init function.

Table 5–3 flex-init Parameters

Parameter  

Description  

logFileName

The name of the parameter is the name of the log file. The value of the parameter specifies either the full path to the log file or a file name relative to the server’s logs directory. For example:

access="/usr/netscape/server4/https-servername/logs/access"mylogfile = "log1"

The log file name is a parameter to the flex-log function, which is applicable in AddLog-class directives.

buffer-size

Specifies the size of the global log buffer. The default is 8192.

buffers-per-file

Specifies the number of buffers for a given log file. The default value is determined by the server. 

Access log entries can be logged in strict chronological order by using a single buffer per log file. Add buffers-per-file="1" to the Init fn="flex-log-init" line in magnus.conf. This setting ensures that requests are logged in chronological order. This approach results in decreased performance when the server is under heavy load.

format.logFileName

Specifies the format of each log entry in the log file. 

For information about the format, see the “More on Log Format” section below. 

no-format-str.access

Specifies whether to include the format string in the log file. You can choose yes or no.

If you are using the Proxy Server's log analyzer, you should include a format string. If you are using a third-party analyzer, you may not want to include a format string in your log file.
