Request Log Files Explained

The Request Logs Files page is found under the Logs menu in the WebAdmin.  Request Logs are typically the final destination for logging packets within the Logging framework.  They track all request log activity and become inputs for the Webcheck Reporting Service. The viewer displays all your client requests being filtered by your Webcheck server. This information can be used to troubleshoot how your client workstations are being filtered and how client requests are being categorized.
 

Log Lines
 

Each Log line displays the Server, Timestamp, URL, Client IP, Client Name, Policy Group, and whether the URL is allowed or denied.  Allowed entries display a zero.  Denied entries display in red with a one.  In addition, the Event Type, Category Numbers and Category Names can also be viewed.  We will look at filtering these log lines later.
