log_hosts.config

Help | Content Gateway | v8.5.x

To record HTTP/FTP transactions for different origin servers in separate log files, you must list each origin server's hostname in the log_hosts.config file. In addition, you must enable the HTTP host splitting option (see HTTP host log splitting).


	Note It is recommended that you use the same log_hosts.config file on every Content Gateway node in your cluster.


	Important After you modify this file, run the following command to apply the changes: /opt/WCG/bin/content_line -x When you apply the changes to a node in a cluster, Content Gateway applies the changes to all nodes in the cluster.

Format

Each line in the log_hosts.config file has the following format:

where hostname is the hostname of the origin server.


	Note You can specify keywords in the log_hosts.config file to record all transactions from origin servers with the specified keyword in their names in a separate log file. See the example below.

Examples

The following example configures Content Gateway to create separate log files containing all HTTP/ FTP transactions for the origin servers webserver1, webserver2, and webserver3.

The following example records all HTTP and FTP transactions from origin servers that contain sports in their names (for example, sports.yahoo.com and www.foxsports.com) in a log file called squid-sport.log (the Squid format is enabled):
