Tech note FS1312

Description
What fields are required at a minimum for a valid log format?

Answer
A valid log format requires the following fields at a minimum:

• Date

• Time

• Client IP address (or host name)

• Base ("stem") of the requested URL (for example, /images/logo.gif)

FlashStats will ignore any line in a log file which is missing any of these fields.

Version 1.4.2 of FlashStats allows you to omit the Time field and the Client IP (or host name) field.
