RE: Access Log Format with Cookies
Title: RE: Access Log Format with Cookies
Can someone else confirm or deny this? ... because this is a little troublesome that orion might not be able to be configured to work with a major software package like WebTrends for accurate analysis, which, I guess, is why more people use the multi-tiered server solution instead of the way we use orion serving both as the app server and the web server.
Is anybody else using Orion and performing site traffic analysis? What are you using? If you are using WebTrends, what have you done to get it to accurately track unique visitors?
Maybe I can persuade Magnus and Karl to add this access log format directive for cookies. I bake a mean chocolate chip cookie. We'll swap.

There is no way to get a listing of all cookies in your log. You will have
to specify their names the way you did.
There are actually two more format vars available:
$header:header-name is similar to the $cookie var for headers
$mime shows the request mime type

Subject: Access Log Format with Cookies
I am in need of formatting our access log files in a
similar vein to the ways Apache does for WebTrends
analysis specifically with regard to recording cookie
information.
In Apache, I would add the tag, \%{Cookie}i\ , to
the LogFormat for use with a CustomLog directive.
In Orion, I know that in the web-site.xml file, I can
add the directive
$cookie:CookieID1
to the access-log format to write a single cookie
value to the access log.
Unfortunately, this does not satisfy WebTrends needs.
I need a cookie directive for the access log format
that displays all the cookies as key-value pairs (ie.
CookieID1=CookieValue1) similar to Apache, which also
displays a - when no cookies are found.
Our access-log format as been
format=$ip - - [$time] quot;$requestquot; $status
$size quot;$refererquot;
quot;$agentquot;
quot;COOKIE_ID1=$cookie:COOKIE_ID1quot;
Hardcoding the COOKIE_ID1= in the access log format
is no longer a viable option.
Does anyone know the access log directive I am looking
for or where I can find it or if it exists?
