Log files structure

[suporteagro]

Hi,

Do you have any document explaining about the structure of the Wingate Log Files and how do they works ?

Thanks,
Gabriel

Are you referring to how they are formatted and how to read them?

WinGate’s log files are located in C:\Program Files\WinGate\Logs and are ordered by service, for example you'll find the WWW proxy service log in C:\Program Files\WinGate\Logs\WWW Proxy Service.

The current log file is named after the service, any older log files that have been rolled over are named for the date that they were rolled over.

The data in the log files follows a fairly standard format, for example:

12/20/07 14:12:49 127.0.0.1 Guest 0000000003 Requested: http://www.wingate.com/
12/20/07 14:12:49 127.0.0.1 Guest 0000000003 Traffic 14515 469 409 14509 0s

The columns are as follows:

Date 12/20/07
Time 14:12:49
IP Address 127.0.0.1
Username Guest
Session number 0000000003
Event Traffic
Bytes sent to client 14515
Bytes received from client 469
Bytes sent for client 409
Bytes received for client 14509
Duration of session 0s

Admittedly these aren’t the easiest to decipher as it is very data intensive, quite a few of our users utilize a third party analyser.
