Adding a Log File

Although you normally specify a log file when you create a profile, you can add log files at any time.

To add a log file:
  1. Click the Options tab.
  2. In the left-hand panel, click Log Files under Main.
  3. Click Add.
  4. In the Location of log file(s) list, select an option.
    • If your logs are located on the computer that is running NetTracker, or are available on the local network, select Local/network file system.
    • If your logs are available via FTP and you want NetTracker to retrieve them for you, select FTP server.
  5. In the Format of log file(s) list, select the format of the log file. Select Auto Detect to have NetTracker determine your log file format.

    6. Note: NetTracker can process log files that have been compressed using gzip.

  6. Do one of the following:
    • If you selected Local/network file system, enter the log file path and file name in the Full path to log file(s) box. You may use the wildcard character (*) to specify multiple files. You may also click Browse to find the file. (The Browse button will not appear if it has been disabled in the administrative options.)
    • If you selected FTP server, click Browse and enter the following information about the FTP server from which you will be downloading the log files. (The Browse button will not appear if it has been disabled in the administrative options.)
      1. Host name: The name of the server (servername.yourdomain.com, not ftp://servername.yourdomain.com)
      2. User name: Your user name for the FTP server. If you access the server anonymously, leave this blank.
      3. Password: Your password for the FTP server. If you access the server anonymously, leave this blank.
      4. Password (again): The same password you entered above.
      5. Initial path: The directory in which the log file can be found on the server. In some cases on a UNIX-based FTP server, this should be the complete system path to that directory. If you are accessing a Windows-based FTP server, usually the path is relative to the FTP root directory.

        6. When you have entered the information about the FTP server, click Browse to select the log file.

  7. Click Add and then click Continue.
