ADMINISTERING


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

About this task

By default, Domino stores log files in the data directory. While the Web server is running, it creates new log files depending on the log file duration settings. If the Web server is not running, it creates log files as needed when the Web server is started.

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.

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 Log files field.

5. Under Log File Settings, complete these fields:


6. Under Log File Names, complete these fields:
7. Optional: Under Exclude From Logging, complete these fields to exclude certain types of information from the log file:
8. Save the document.
