Supported Log File Formats

FastStats Analyzer supports a variety of log file formats. You may be able to configure your web server to produce one of the formats specified below, or your web server may produce one of the below formats, only refer to it by another name. Click on each format for an example of that log file format.

There are two common formats that web servers use: Combined Log File Format and W3C Extended Log File Format. Some apache servers may also use the Common Log File format. Analyzer supports these formats.

• Standard Common Log File Format
• Standard Combined Log File Format
• W3C Extended Log File Format
• NCSA Common
• NCSA Combined
• CERN Common
• CERN Combined
• Apache Common
• Apache Extended
• IIS 3.0
• IIS 7.0, IIS 6.0, IIS 5.1, IIS 5.0, and IIS 4.0 Log Formats (excluding binary)

In addition, FastStats Analyzer supports but does not automatically identify the log files from some servers. If your server type is listed in the report below, you may want to set a global option or a per-project option to tell FastStats that the logs come from this server type:

• Domino servers: Automatically recognized as Apache Extended format, but Domino puts the virtual server information in a nonstandard place. If you want to filter by virtual server, you'll need to manually choose the Domino Log Format.

The Apache Multiple Log File Format is no longer supported.

Configuring your web server for maximum FastStats Analyzer compatibility:

IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Services webserver) log file setup.

Apache (Apache Software Foundation webserver) log file setup.
