Web Server Log File Samples - IIS and Apache
This section provides a quick introduction of Web server log files with examples of IIS and Apache servers.
Web Log File: A file produced by a Web server to record activities on the Web server. It usually has the following features:
1. IIS (Internet Information Service) Samples: Here are some sample records from an IIS server log file:
02:49:12 127.0.0.1 GET / 200 02:49:35 127.0.0.1 GET /index.html 200 03:01:06 127.0.0.1 GET /images/sponsered.gif 304 03:52:36 127.0.0.1 GET /search.php 200 04:17:03 127.0.0.1 GET /admin/style.css 200 05:04:54 127.0.0.1 GET /favicon.ico 404 05:38:07 127.0.0.1 GET /js/ads.js 200
The record format is very simple. It has fields for: time, client IP address, request command, requested file, and response status code.
2. Apache Samples: Here are some sample records from an Apache server log file:
192.168.198.92 - - [22/Dec/2002:23:08:37 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 6394 www.yahoo.com "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1...)" "-" 192.168.198.92 - - [22/Dec/2002:23:08:38 -0400] "GET /images/logo.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 807 www.yahoo.com "http://www.some.com/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6...)" "-" 192.168.72.177 - - [22/Dec/2002:23:32:14 -0400] "GET /news/sports.html HTTP/1.1" 200 3500 www.yahoo.com "http://www.some.com/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE ...)" "-" 192.168.72.177 - - [22/Dec/2002:23:32:14 -0400] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 1997 www.yahoo.com "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3)..." "-" 192.168.72.177 - - [22/Dec/2002:23:32:15 -0400] "GET /style.css HTTP/1.1" 200 4138 www.yahoo.com "http://www.yahoo.com/index.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows..." "-" 192.168.72.177 - - [22/Dec/2002:23:32:16 -0400] "GET /js/ads.js HTTP/1.1" 200 10229 www.yahoo.com "http://www.search.com/index.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows..." "-" 192.168.72.177 - - [22/Dec/2002:23:32:19 -0400] "GET /search.php HTTP/1.1" 400 1997 www.yahoo.com "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; ...)" "-"
The record format is more complex. The records are also very long. I am breaking them into multiple lines. Some fields are easy to understand, like client IP address, date and time, request command line, response status and size, referring URL, and browser name. I don't know what the other fields are.
