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
Client Hostname	Hostname of the machine from which the request originated, if available. If a hostname is not available, 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
version	Version of the log record being processed (internal use only)
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 protocols, this value can indicate whether or not Filtering Service is classifying protocols correctly.

method	The HTTP method (get or post)
contentType	Type of content specified in the record header
category	Forcepoint URL Database or custom category assigned to the requested URL

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 analysis (Forcepoint Web Security)
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 (Forcepoint Web Securityonly)
policyName	Name of the policy applied to the request
keyword	The keyword, if any, used to recategorize and block a request

If you have enabled SIEM integration in the Security Manager, an additional SIEM Results section appears in the TestLogServer output. The SIEM Results section includes the following information. Note that information provided by Content Gateway is available only with Forcepoint Web Security.


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 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.
X-Forwarded-For	IP address of the client which sent the request. The request was sent through a client proxy, load balancer, or similar device.

If the request was to a cloud application, an additional Cloud App Results section appears in the output. The Cloud App Results section includes the following information.


Field	Description
app id	Internal ID assigned to the cloud application.
app name	Name of the requested cloud application.
app risk level	Risk level (high, medium, or low) assigned to the cloud application.
app category id	Internal ID assigned to the type of cloud application.
app category name	Name of the cloud application type.

The output for each request looks something like this:
