I believe my situation is a little different in that the Proxy server (EZPROXY) that our library clients are using creates special log files that only track when the database link is clicked on.
For instance, when a patron clicks on the link on the libray's website, Ezproxy only creates ONE log and that entry is either a 200 remote or a 301 response. Unless of course I am mistaken about this, but this is what it looks like is happening in the log file. Here are a few log examples of from a LOCAL ip address that is accessing different GROLER database: local 66.158.45.2 - - [12/Aug/2008:14:45:05 -0600] "GET http://atb.grolier.com/ HTTP/1.1" 301 467 local 66.158.45.2 - - [12/Aug/2008:14:45:22 -0600] "GET http://gme.grolier.com HTTP/1.1" 301 465 local 66.158.45.2 - - [12/Aug/2008:14:45:41 -0600] "GET http://lp.grolier.com HTTP/1.1" 301 463 local 66.158.45.2 - - [12/Aug/2008:14:46:06 -0600] "GET http://ea.grolier.com/ HTTP/1.1" 301 465 local 66.158.45.2 - - [12/Aug/2008:14:46:54 -0600] "GET http://atb.grolier.com/ HTTP/1.1" 301 467 local 66.158.45.2 - - [12/Aug/2008:14:47:05 -0600] "GET http://ea.grolier.com/ HTTP/1.1" 301 465 local 66.158.45.2 - - [12/Aug/2008:14:47:16 -0600] "GET http://gme.grolier.com HTTP/1.1" 301 465 local 66.158.45.2 - - [12/Aug/2008:14:47:29 -0600] "GET http://lp.grolier.com HTTP/1.1" 301 463 These are the last logs of the day today and as you can see, no additional logs are generated once the log has been redirected. If you are familiar with Ezproxy the logformat command within the Ezproxy config file is: LogSPU spu.log %{ezproxy-spuaccess}i %h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b This log file format allows for differentiating between local and proxy logs, which the libraries want statistics for. Anyway, to me it seems I need to include the redirected logs since these are the only accounts of local access requests from patrons that are in the log file.
