NNTP access log files

About NNTP access log files

The Log Files - NNTP Access page (Data tab > Log Files > NNTP Access) enables you to access all available news cache log files. This page also enables you to copy, send through FTP and e-mail, and delete the access log files.

You can use the access log file to monitor the total number of bytes that the NetCache appliance sends to and receives from clients, errors that occurred during the transaction (NetCache appliance and NNTP error codes), NNTP transaction codes, and so on. For a complete list of options that you can monitor, see NNTP Log Format.
