      What information from the log files can I export from SiteSpect?

      Log files record the raw hits made to your website for a given time period and may be useful for analyzing visitors and visits. You can download the logs from SiteSpect by selecting Site, Monitoring, Log Files.

      You may request a log file for any time frame in the last four weeks. Log files are not immediately available upon request. SiteSpect will send you a system message when the log file has been generated and is available for you to download. Once generated, the log files will be available for a period of five weeks.

      The log files contain the following data for each hit (or server request):

      • The IP address of the visitor making the request.
      • The identity of the requester. This field is rarely used.
      • The authenticated visitor, if required for access.
      • The time that the server finished processing the request.
      • The requested file from the client, shown in double quotes.
      • The status code that the server sends back to the client (e.g.: 200, 304, 404).
      • The number of bytes transferred.
      • A hyphen in the output indicates that the requested piece of information is not available.

      The following is an example of recorded entries found in a log file:
