Logging Accesses

All Web accesses can be logged into the system. This functionality allows you to observe all Web access in detail (which machine accesses which URL at which time?). An automatic log rotation system allows you to backup logs for a period of 10 days. Each rotated log is identified by an integer between 1 and 10 called the log serial number. The most recent log (yesterday log) has the number 1. The older one has the number 2 and so on.

To save explicitly the current (today's) log, a log rotation should be forced. To explicitly rotate logs use the following command:

log rotate

This command is executed asynchronously. To check the end of this operation use the following command:

log rotate report

When the log rotation is finished it may be saved on a file server. To save the most recent access log in a file named "access-log.gz" located on the TFTP server identified by the IP address "172.18.2.1" use the following command:

log save acess 1 tftp 172.18.2.1 access-log.gz

Logs are saved in a gzip compressed format. Note that only trusted file servers may be used. To declare a file server as trusted use the command "access file".

The logging feature may be disabled. To disable the logging use the command "mode".
