HTTP Log Files

The SOAP/AM Server logs all HTTP activity in log files. The log files are stored in the VFS folder "/logs/http". A separate log file is created for each day's activity. The name of each file is exyyyymmdd.log where yyyy, mm and dd represent the year, month and day that file was created and the date that all the activity in the log occurred. You can enable or disable HTTP logging on the Server General Settings page.

Log files must be deleted manually. You should monitor the logs folder periodically and remove unwanted files in order to prevent excessive growth of the VFS.

The log file format conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium's W3C Extended Log File Format Working Draft. This format is commonly supported by log file analysis tools. Refer to http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/WD-logfile-960323.html for details. Here's a sample log:
