ADMINISTERING


Setting up the Domino Web server log (DOMLOG.NSF)

To set up the Domino® Web server log, you must enable logging (by default, logging is disabled).

About this task

You can restrict the information logged to the Domino Web server log to analyze log file results. Some information may increase the size of the log file without providing meaningful information -- requests for graphics or icons, for example, so you may want to exclude that type of information from the log. Domino creates the Web server log database when the HTTP task starts after you enable logging to DOMLOG.NSF.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

2. Open the Server document for the Web server.

3. Click the Internet Protocols -> HTTP tab.

4. Under Enable Logging To, select Enabled for the Domlog.nsf field.

5. Optional: Under Exclude From Logging, complete these fields to exclude certain types of information from the log file:


6. Save the document and then restart the HTTP task so that the changes take effect.
