Used to view and change logger parameters.

Form

iServer Administrator - Logger

Fields

    Log Access Whether to log requests.

    Yes is the default for iServer.

    Setting this value to No will result in no access log being maintained. Setting this value to Yes may have a negative impact on performance.

    Log Events Whether to log events.

    Yes is the default for iServer.

    Setting this value to No will result in no log being maintained for events. Setting this value to Yes may have a negative impact on performance.

    Log Errors Whether to log errors.

    Yes is the default for iServer.

    Setting this value to No will result in no log being maintained for errrors. Setting this value to Yes may have a negative impact on performance.

    Class File The package.class name of the logger to use.

    The CLASSPATH will be searched for the specified logger.

    Parameters Any parameters used during initialization of the Logger.

    Zero or more parameters can be specified by entering line delimited key=value pairs.

Configuration

    iServer includes both file and database loggers. The file logger is used to log client requests, errors and events to flat files and the database logger to any JDBC accessible database.

    Select the method to use:
    Flat File
    Microsoft Access
    Oracle
    Other


    Use the following steps to configure the file logger.

    1. Set Class File to stec.iws.FileLogger.
    2. Define the following Parameters:
      basedir=path
      access_log_template=template
      log_rollover_interval=interval
    path The directory that will contain the log files.

    ./logs is the default directory.

    template The template to use for access log entries.

    default is the default for iServer.

    If None is the value then a template will not be used. Using None may improve performance.

    Templates are defined using the iServer Administrator or directly by editing the templates.ini file located at /iws/config directory, assuming iServer was installed in /iws.

    interval How often to rollover the log files.

    None do not rollover the log files.
    Daily rollover the log files every day.
    Weekly rollover the log files every week.
    Monthly rollover the log files every month.
    Weekly is the default value.

    On a very active site log files should be rollover every day.

    The Logger uses yyyymmdd_logfile.log when Daily, Weekly and Daily is selected and logfile.log when None is selected.


    Use the following steps to configure the database logger for Microsoft Access.

    1. Set Class File to stec.iws.DatabaseLogger.
    2. Define the following Parameters:
      driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
      url=jdbc:odbc:iserver.msaccess
      username=admin
      password=admin
    3. If you have not already created a System DNS for iServer then from the Control Panel run ODBC Data Sources (32bit) and add a new System DNS named iserver.msaccess that uses a Microsoft Access driver and assuming that iServer was installed in c:\iws that references c:\iws\databases\iserver.mdb.

    The example provided above makes use of the JDBC-ODBC bridge to access the iserver.mdb database. It will only work under Microsoft Windows 9x/NT and may not work with JView.


    Use the following steps to configure the database logger for Oracle.

    1. Set Class File to stec.iws.DatabaseLogger.
    2. Define the following Parameters:
      driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
      url=jdbc:odbc:iserver.oracle
      username=admin
      password=admin
    3. If Oracle database server is not running then start then it.
    4. If you have not already created an Oracle database for iServer then follow the instructions below to create it.
      1. Start SQLPLUS and login as an administrator.
        sqlplus system/manager

        The user name and password shown above may not be correct on all systems. Please consult the appropriate Oracle documentation or a system database administrator for the correct user name and password.

      2. Create admin user.
        grant connect to admin identified by admin;
        grant dba to admin;
        commit;
        exit
      3. Start SQLPLUS again and this time login using the new admin user.
        sqlplus admin/admin
      4. Assuming that iServer was installed in /iws create the database.
        @/iws/databases/iserver.sql
        exit

        If iServer was installed in a directory other than /iws then first edit /iws/databases/iserver.sql and change the directory path of the iserver.ora database to the proper path.

      5. Using the sample TNSNAMES.ORA file in /iws/databases, define a new SQL Net entry named iserver.oracle for iServer.
      6. Start SQL Net Listener.
        lsnrctl start

    The example provided above makes use of the JDBC-ODBC bridge to access the Oracle database. It will only work under Microsoft Windows 9x/NT and may not work with JView.


    Use the following steps to configure the database logger for any JDBC accessiable database.

    1. Set Class File to stec.iws.DatabaseLogger.
    2. Define the following Parameters:
      driver=driver
      url=url
      username=username
      password=password
      driver The JDBC driver used to access the database.
      url The JDBC URL that references the database.
      username The username.
      password The password.
    3. If you have not already created a database for iServer then using the instruction for configuring database based realm for Oracle as a guideline and /iws/databases/iserver.sql as a template create the appropriate user login, database, tables, stored procedures and views.
