<H2>WWW Logging Properties</H2>
<P>
The <B>Logging</B> property sheet sets logging for the selected
information service.
<P>
Logging provides valuable information about how a server is used.
You can send log data to files or to an Open Data Base Connectivity
(ODBC)-supported database. If you have multiple servers or services
on a network, you can log all their activity to a single file
or database on any network computer.
<P>
If you want to log to a file, you can specify how often to create
new logs and which directory put the log files in. The Convlog.exe
command prompt command converts log files to either EMWAC log
files or the common log file format.
<P>
If you log to an ODBC data source, you must specify the ODBC Data
Source Name (DSN), table, and valid user name and password to
the database.
<H3>Enable Logging</H3>
<P>
Select this box to start or stop logging for the selected information
service.
<H3>Log to File</H3>
<P>
Choose this option to log to a text file for the selected information
service.
<H3>Log Format</H3>
<P>
Click the down arrow and choose either Standard format or National
Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) format.
<H3>Automatically open new log</H3>
<P>
Select this box to generate new logs at the specifed interval.
If not selected, the same log file will grow indefinitely.
<H3>Log file directory</H3>
<P>
Shows the path to the directory containing all log files. To change
directories, click Browse and select a different directory.
<H3>Log file name</H3>
<P>
Names the log file. Lowercase letters <B>yy</B> will be replaced
with the year, <B>mm</B> will be replaced with the month, and
<B>dd</B> will be replaced with the day.
<H3>Log to SQL/ODBC Database </H3>
<P>
Choose to log to any ODBC data source. Set the Datasource name,
Table name (not the file name of the table), and specify a user
name and password that is valid for the computer on which the
database resides. You must also use the ODBC applet in Control
Panel to create a system data source.
