Installing
LogView comes with the Roxen Campaign Suite and Roxen Platform
distributions, and is installed automatically. In Challenger Pro you
will have to enable it manually on each virtual server LogView should
handle statistics for. For Roxen Platform LogView is installed
automatically when you enable a SiteBuilder virtual server.
When the module is enabled the next step is usually to go to
LogView configuration interface. In case of Challenger Pro this is
by default found on http://virtual.server.name/logview. For
Platform it is found under LogView in the
Plugins tab.
However, it is a good idea to check if the default values need any
modification. This is done by selecting the LogView option that
has now appeared in the list of installed modules.
In the following sections, the different options under the LogView
module configuration are explained.
- Admin password
-
Here the password for LogView
administration can be changed. By default, this value is the same as
the password used for Challenger administration.
Note: The number of the stars symbolizing the password is
always four, regardless of the actual number of letters in the
password.
- Admin user name
-
The user name of the LogView
administrator, by default the same as the Challenger administrator.
- Enable <logview> tag
-
If disabled, the LogView
tag will only work inside the LogView user interface pages. If
enabled, the tag can be used on any page on the virtual
server, as described in the section Putting reports on other
pages in the User's manual. The default value is No.
- Log path
-
Specifies the directory where LogView will
put its own logs. The default value is
../logs/new/logview.data/
Note: Please use different directories for every
LogView installation. Otherwise the state of the internal LogView
files will become unclear and LogView will fail to operate correctly.
- Minimize load
-
If set to Yes LogView will try
not to run updates concurrently even if it is used in several virtual
servers.
- Mount path
-
Specifies the place in the virtual file
system of the server where the LogView user interface can be accessed.
The default value is /logview/.
- Update hour
-
Which hour LogView should update the
statistics groups. Can be set to Every hour if the statistics
should be updated each hour rather than once every day.
- Update nice value
-
The nice value of the update
process. If set to a higher value the update process will not be as
efficient at getting system resources as other processes running on
the computer. Often it is more important that the actual web server
gets system resources than the update process, and in that case it
makes sense to give it a high nice value.
- Viewer password
-
Specifies the password needed to
access the user interface, if password protection is enabled.
Note: the number of the stars symbolizing the password is always
four, regardless of the actual number of letters in the password.
By default, this value is empty.
- Viewer user name
-
If this field contains a name, the
user has to log in with this user name and the password specified
above. Only one user can be specified.
By default, this value is empty.
