Log Files options

To extract Discover session data to W3C-compliant log files, click Log Files

  • Active - If this destination is the active one for this task, click the Active box.
  • Log Directory - On the host machine, specify the destination directory for the log files.
  • Max Log File Size - The maximum size of each data file in megabytes (MB). If this file size is exceeded, the file is closed, and a new log file is opened.
  • Concurrent Logs - The maximum number of log files that can be concurrently written.
  • Timestamps - Define timestamps in output to be set to GMT time or the local time of the Unica Discover Data Export server.
  • Field Delimiter - In the exported log files, you can specify the separator string that is inserted between extracted fields. By default, this string is a space.
  • Discover Events as individual log entries - A single Discover hit may generate multiple events. Select this option if you want each Discover event in a hit to be written as a separate log entry.
    • Synthetic URL - For each Discover event, generate a synthetic URL in the log file.
    • Event hit URL - For each Discover event, use the URL in the hit containing the event in the log file.
  • Convert Post to Gets - Some destination systems, such as Web Trends, are unable to use POST data in Discover sessions. Select this option to convert this data to GET data.
  • Copy TLTURL to cs-uri-stem - If needed, you can convert Discover URL field (TLTURL) to cs-uri-stem format, which is a W3C standard. The following is an example of cs-uri-stem: 
    
/resources/rss/default.xml enum%2B-
%2Bstatuscode=304&Status%2BCode%2BDistribution=304&Status%2BCodes%2B-
%2BNumeric=304&Distance%2BEvent%2B-
%2BHome%2BPage%2B(/)=/&enum%2BConnType=Dialup&ConnType%2BEvent=Di
alup&ResponseSize%2BEvent=263
  • Populate cs-uri-query with Discover Events - If needed, you can append all Discover events to the URI query string. Through this method, all Discover events are specified as a part of a URI query string.
  • Time sort log files - By default, Discover writes log files in hit-by-hit order, which may not be in a time-based order. Select this option to write log files in order according to the timestamps of entries.
  • Fields - Select the fields that you would like to include in the log files. The preselected ones represent a good cross-section of session data.
    • To select all, click Set All at the top of the panel. To clear all fields, click Clear All.
