Configuring WAS Log File to get information to do Log Analysis...

[Former Member]

We use a web log analysis tool called Web Trends to track usage of our web sites. This tool reads the web logs and generates all kinds of reports based on web site usage, site hits, tracks peoples clicks, etc.

In order to get all the information we get from our other web logs (e.g. IIS, WebSphere), we need additional information to be logged in Web AS such as referring sites, search engine keywords and phrases, etc. I believe this is called combined log format.

Any idea if it's possible to configure the Web AS log to get this type of information, and if so, how do we do that?

Thank you!

Hi Peggy,

set profile parameter icm/HTTP/logging_0 to something like PREFIX=/,LOGFILE=/usrdata/WAS_access_log/access_log-%y%m%d_%h%t%s,SWITCHTF=day

Then you'll get one file per day which you can analyze with Web Trends.

For more information have a look at the online help of the parameter in RZ10.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Jürgen
