Administration Guide 8-15
Setting Up HTTP Access Logs by Using the Administration
Console
To set up HTTP access logs use the Administration Console at
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/ConsoleHelp/virtualhost.html.
1. If you have set up virtual hosting:
a. Select the services node in the left pane.
b. Select the virtual hosts node. The node expands and displays a list of virtual
hosts.
c. Select a virtual host.
If you have not set up virtual hosting:
a. Select the servers node in the left pane. The node expands and displays a list of
servers.
b. Select a server.
c. Select the Logging tab.
d. Select the HTTP tab.
2. Check the Enable Logging box.
3. Enter values for your Log File Name.
4. Select Common or Extended from the drop-down list labeled Format.
5. If you want the time stamps for HTTP log messages to be in Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT) regardless of the local time zone that the host computer specifies,
select Log Time in GMT.
Use this method to comply with the W3C specification for Extended Format Log
Files. The specification states that all time stamps for Extended Format log
entries be in GMT.
6. In Log File BufferK Bytes, set the size (in kilobytes) of the HTTP message
buffer. After the HTTP message buffer reaches this size, the server writes all
current entries to the HTTP log file and flushes the buffer.
