Extending HTTP access log file

I am trying to extend the HTTP access log file using the information given at http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/adminguide/web_server.html#113868
However, I havent been able to succeed in doing that. I have written my own class
authType.java to display that information in the log file. I compiled the class
and placed it under the lib directory thereby guaranteeing that it will be loaded.
However, the log file only seems to place a '-' at the location where it should
have actually placed the contents of the method getMethod().
Help will be appreciated.
[authType.java]

Not at the moment. We are working on adding a property in an upcoming
release.
This is documented at:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/adminhelp/AdminPropertyHelp.html

How has access.log file configured in WebLogic server 10.0?

1.) I am using BEA Weblogic 10.0 and my access.log is not getting updated.
2.) I also need any information as to how this Webblogic server forms chunks (ex....access00011.log,access00012.log) because i have a software called AWStats which merges all these chunks into 1 single access.log file under its subdirectory.
3.) I also need information as to how and where the user can specify/ form his own fields which gets displayed in the access.log
FYI i have 2 servers and i checked under Logging->HTTP->advanced, in both the servers options and configurations are same but in 1 it works fine and access.log is updating but not in the other one.
Kindly let me know i you have any leads into this issue!
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Ravish,
Firstly thanks for the reply.
1.) -----
What you can do is to set the buffer-size-kb parameter value to "0" in config.xml so that it can start logging once the server starts coming up rather then waiting for the default size which is 8kb to pass.
Something like below:
<web-server-log>
<buffer-size-kb>0</buffer-size-kb>
<web-server-log>
For more details check the below link:
Search for: CR302493
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/issues/known_resolved.html
--- for this issue i had browsed throught the forum before posting but in my conf file i have something like this instead of <buffer-size-kb>0</buffer-size-kb>
<web-server>
<web-server-log>
<number-of-files-limited>false</number-of-files-limited>
<log-file-format>extended</log-file-format>
</web-server-log>
</web-server>
So how do i go about the path of debugging now??
2.) -------
If you do not want rotation of access.log then you can just disable it from the below console path just by putting Rotation type as None
Server -> <YOUR_SERVER_NAME> -> Logging (tab) -> HTTP (sub-tab) -> Rotation type: None
---- for this in both my servers i have the settings like this,
Rotation type--> By Size
Rotation File size 5000
Begin rotation time 00:00
rotation interval 24
files to retain 7
and Log file rotation directory is left blank (to get created in same directory)
and also Rotate log file on startup is unchecked.
so??? what do you suggest!?
3.) ------
I also need information as to how and where the user can specify/ form his own fields which gets displayed in the access.log
---- regarding this, in my main server the access.log is getting updated and after 4.8Mb its creating 5Mb chunks. So, for example if the entire log is of 15 Mb then access.log stops updating at 4.98Mb and accesslog.out0001 and accesslog.out0002 is created with 5Mb each but the latest entry will be stored in accesslog.out0002 file. I hope i didn't complicate this :)

Authenticated user name not written to access log file

Our users are authenticated with certificates to an LDAP directory server. The Access log file is using the Extended-2 format.
The name of the authenticated user is now written in the Access log.
10.4.57.44 - - [19/May/2004:14:07:21 -0400] "GET /somepage HTTP/1.1" 200 10382
Anybody know why?

I've got the same problem with Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.02 for Linux.
When I installed it, authenticated users were visible in the access log. Then I tryied to change format and since that moment, this information is disappeared.
Any news about this bug?
Thanx.

Putting header information on access log files

Can anybody suggest how to put a Apache Extended with Cookies LogFormat(i.e. "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"{User-Agent} i\"\"{Cookie}i\"") information in access log file headers in Oracle10g application server probably for webcache. I also want to know the location in which and where this configuration files resides.
Thanks,

Are You using IronPort URL Filters or Cisco IronPort Web Usage Controls.
I'm using Cisco IronPort Web Usage Controlsand it shows:

Seems Your does not handle categorization and skips that part.

Getting Client IP address in Webcenter access log files

In addition to Understanding Webcenter Spaces Access Log File
I want to trace the IP address of the client machine from where webcenter spaces is being accessed.
How to capture this?
Please help.
-- Navin K

You can access one of two server logs:
If you embedded an HTTP Server in front of WebLogic (which is what Oracle recommends), then you have access information in OHS (which is just like Apace).
If you are using a managed server (or even the admin server) in WebLogic, same thing, different name/place (the http access log).
same discussions are going on in other thread -
How to get the IP adress of the user who have accessed Webcenter Spaces ?

HTTP Access logs

Hi!
          Has anyone created custom field identifiers?
          I created a class for my custom field to access.log file and I changed the
          file
          so that it's in Extended Log Format.
          I placed the class file to classpath what the server uses when it starts up.
          Put it still do not work!!
          And the documents are useless...

How i can access log file in servlet?

How i can access log file in servlet then display it to browser.
          Can i have peice of codes...
          Thanks in advance.!


This is not something that can be answered easily. There is quite alot of code involved....
To get started I suggest you read up on the built-in package 'DBMS_LOB' from Oracle . Most of what you need you should find there.

Why can't read access log file in real-time? (Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3)

We can't read access log file in real-time. If access log is rotation to new file so can read access log file but can't read real-time.
*** Oracle Weblogic Server versions 10 R3

what's your meaning? try this command "tail -f access.log".
Threre is a buffer about 8K for WebLogic to write the access info into the log files, so you can't see the access info untill the buffer is full.

WLS http access logs not written to when starting WLS instance using nodemanager

When starting managed WLS instances using node manager the HTTP access logs are
not written to (the WLS log in the same directory is written to). All other functionality
of the WLS instances seem to operate just fine when started using node manager.
When we start the same managed WLS instances using a start-up script the HTTP
access logs are written to.
===
How can we get HTTP access logs to be written to when starting a WLS instance
using node manager?

I think I know the answer to this one!
I got bitten by the same bug (at least I think it is a bug). Check the location
specified for the HTTP-access log for your server instance. It is probably a relative
location, right?
According to the docs, relative paths should start from the Root Directory (see
your Remote Start config), but it seems like the BEA-programmers forgot to retrieve
the Root Directory and instead blindly writes to the process' current working
directory (CWD).
And when started by the Node Managet, the CWD = WL_HOME/common/nodemanager.
If you are as paronoid as I am (and you should be too), that directory should
not be writeable by anyone. Because my BEA installation was owned by 'bin', and
the processes run by 'beawls', I got an error message in my NM-logs pointing to
the problem. In your case, you are probably running NM as a user that has write-access
to your NM-home, and all your missing HTTP-access logs are deep, down there.

Nothing being written to http access log.

Can no longer access log files from EM(ECM11.1.1.6.0).

Full UI popup error is " Stream closed ADF_FACES-60097:For more information, please see the server's error log for an entry beginning with: ADF_FACES-60096:Server Exception during PPR, #4"
Of course, I can't see any further errors in the logs,so I'm really at a disadvantage. am currently asking client if he sees anything in the Console for errors.
This was working just fine, no issues accessing logs from EM. No configiration changes were made, there's almost 8gb RAM available on this box(SOA on different BOX). ECM set up is Admin, IPM, UCM on this box.
Is there special memory settings for logs?

log from Admin Console is this:
<Dec 11, 2012 12:03:32 PM PST> <Error> <oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.config.rich.RegistrationConfigurator> <BEA-000000> <ADF_FACES-60096:Server Exception during PPR, #6
