File names for NetCache logs

Log file names

When log files are pushed or rotated, the oldest of each type of enabled logs is discarded, and the file that was the active log file is renamed and saved. NetCache saves the active log file plus from zero to nine of the last logs of each log type.

The following table shows the names that NetCache assigns to each log type.

Log type	Active log name	Saved log file name
CMS log	CMS_log	log_name.0 through log_name.9 For example: messages.0 through messages.9
ContentDirector log	CDLog
DNS log	dns_log
FTP transfer access log	ftpxf_log
GRM server access log	grm_log
GRM server details log	grm_details_log
ICAP 1.0 log	icap_log
Messages log	messages
NNTP access log	nntp_log
Streaming access log	streaming_log
Streaming details log	streaming_details_log
Web access log	http_log
Web server acceleration log	http_accel_<log id>	log_name_<log.id>.0 through log_name_<log.id>.255

When NetCache saves the active file, the name takes the following form:

log_name.cache_hostname.timestamp

For example:

http_log.your_cache.2002.12.30.14.45

In the preceding example, your_cache is the name of your NetCache appliance, and 2002.12.30.14.45 is the date and time when the log was pushed to the server. The time stamp is written with a four-digit year, two-digit month, two-digit day, two-digit hour, and two-digit minute.
