Additional Configuration of the Bolero Settings File

Tailoring the Information to be Logged

The Logging Information subsection of the Bolero Settings file allows you to tailor the data that Bolero captures and summarizes. When Bolero receives a log entry from a Web server, it parses the entry into several related pieces of information and populates the appropriate tables. The logging information for WebSTAR servers is in the default Settings file and looks like this:
[LoggingInformation]
Agent = On
ClientDomain = On
DomainName = On
EMail = On
Method = On
PathArg = On
Referer = On
Result = On
ReversedSubDomain = On
SearchArg = On
URL = On
WebServer = On
WebUser = On

Note


Refer to Bolero's Tables and WebSTAR Considerations for descriptions of Bolero's tables. You can also refer to the Database Documentation section for a detailed description of all tables and the fields in those tables.

Depending on your situation, some of this information may not be relevant to the statistics you wish to generate. For example, if you are not concerned with what type of Agent a client is using, you could modify the Logging Information subsection as follows:
[LoggingInformation]
Agent = Off
After this change has been made, Bolero will not log any information into the Agents table, and therefore the information will not be summarized into the Agents Summary table.

Note


Bolero respects the Log format received from a WebSTAR server. Any changes made at the WebSTAR server to disable logging of selected information will have the same effect as setting a value to 'Off' in the Logging Information subsection of the Bolero Settings file.
