When you run TestLogServer, the output includes the following information, if available.


Field	Description
Log Source	The component that sent the Internet request to Filtering Service (for example, Integration)
Client Hostname	Hostname of the machine from which the request originated, if available. If the integration does not provide a hostname, the client IP address is displayed.
SourceIP	IP address from which the request originated This can be used to verify that Filtering Service is seeing traffic from specific machines.
DestinationIP	IP address of the requested (target) URL Incorrect or missing data can indicate DNS issues, which prevent proper filtering.
server	IP address of the Filtering Service machine
time	Exact time that the request was generated, as provided by the Filtering Service machine
disposition	Action applied to the request by Filtering Service. For example, category blocked, permitted by exception, continue user blocked, and so on.
URL	The requested (target) URL
protocol	The protocol (for example, HTTP, FTP) associated with the request. In the case of non-HTTP filtering, this value can indicate whether or not Filtering Service is classifying protocols correctly.
port	The port number the connection attempted to use
networkDirection	The direction of the network request (inbound or outbound)
method	The HTTP method (get or post)
contentType	Type of content specified in the record header
category	Master Database or custom category assigned to the requested URL
categoryReason	Reason the URL was categorized as it was (for example, defined in the Master Database, recategorized by content scanning, recategorized by custom URL, and so on)
bytes sent	Number of bytes sent
bytes received	Number of bytes received
file name	Name of the file, if any, retrieved from the URL
True File Type	The file type associated with the file, as confirmed by Content Gateway file type scanning
roleId	The number assigned to the delegated administration role that assigned the policy applied to this request. The Super Administrator role ID number is 8.
user	The name of the user making the request, if user identification or authentication is enabled and applied to the client IP address
duration	Time, in milliseconds, it took to look up the site
scan duration	Time, in milliseconds, it took Content Gateway to analyze the site
policyName	Name of the policy applied to the request
keyword	The keyword, if any, used to recategorize and block a request

If you have installed Websense Multiplexer and enabled SIEM integration in TRITON - Web Security, an additional SIEM Results section appears in the TestLogServer output. The SIEM Results section includes the following information:


Field	Description
protocol version	Current version of the protocol used to send data to the SIEM integration
server status code	HTTP status code sent from the origin server to Websense Content Gateway
proxy status code	HTTP status code sent from the Content Gateway proxy to the client machine
client source port	Client ephemeral TCP source port
client destination port	Client TCP destination port
proxy source	IP address of the Content Gateway outbound interface
proxy source port	Outbound ephemeral TCP port used by Content Gateway
user agent	User agent string sent by the client browser or application.

The output for each request looks something like this:
