Understanding the log files

Sep 29 05 10:36 am

Hello everyone.

I'm just wondering how can i read the log file for the users.
I know what some of the columns are but there are a few other i would like to know what they mean.

Ok, here we go:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
09/06/05 16:25:02 250.18.29.58 0000018770 Requested http://www.microsoft.com/spanish/msn
09/06/05 16:25:04 250.18.29.58 0000018770 Traffic 493 250 196 512 2s
09/06/05 16:25:04 250.18.29.58 0000018770 Terminated exit code 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i know that the user request for an http on:
Date (09/06/05)
Time (16:25:02)
IP (250.18.29.58)
page requested (http://www.microsoft.com/spanish/msn) and
the time the user spend on the page (2s),

what i would like to know is what are the description for the fourth column (0000018770) and the description for the values in the traffic column (493 250 196 512).

i imagine that those are bytes in and bytes out, but, why 4 values? and what Terminated exit code 0 and 1 means.


Thx in advanced for the help.

The 10 digit number is the session ID. That way you can track which log entries belong together.

According to the helpfile the traffic is "Bytes (sent to, received from, sent for, received for) client, seconds". That allows you to view both ends of the connection (Client -> Proxy and Proxy -> Webserver)

Exit Code 0: Good
Exit Code 1: Client Side problem
