Request logs are a record of the requests that the server has processed. There is one entry per request received, and commonly in the standard NCSA format, so you can use tools like Webalizer to analyze them conveniently.
A standard request log entry includes the client IP address, date, method, URL, result, size, referrer, and user agent, for example:
123.4.5.6 - - [27/Aug/2004:10:16:17 +0000] "GET /jetty/tut/XmlConfiguration.html HTTP/1.1" 200 76793 "http://localhost:8080/jetty/tut/logging.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8"
Jetty provides an implementation called `NCSARequestLog` which supports the NCSA format in files that you can roll over on a daily basis.
The Logback Project offers another implementation of a RequestLog
interface, providing rich and powerful HTTP-access log functionality.
If neither of these options meets your needs, you can implement a custom request logger by implementing Jetty’s RequestLog.java
interface and plugging it in similar to the NCSARequestLog
, as shown below.
To configure a single request log for the entire Jetty Server instance:
<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
<Set name="RequestLog">
<New id="RequestLog" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.AsyncNCSARequestLog">
<Set name="filename">/var/log/jetty/yyyy_mm_dd.request.log</Set>
<Set name="append">true</Set>
<Set name="extended">false</Set>
<Set name="LogTimeZone">GMT</Set>
</New>
</Set>
</Configure>
The equivalent code is:
NCSARequestLog requestLog = new NCSARequestLog("/var/logs/jetty/jetty-yyyy_mm_dd.request.log");
requestLog.setAppend(true);
requestLog.setExtended(false);
requestLog.setLogTimeZone("GMT");
server.setRequestLog(requestLog);
This configures a request log in $JETTY_HOME/logs
with filenames including the date.
Old log files are kept for 90 days before being deleted.
Existing log files are appended to and the extended NCSA format is used in the GMT time zone.
To examine many more configuration options, see NCSARequestLog.java.
To configure a separate request log for a web application, add the following to the context XML file.
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
...
<Call name="insertHandler">
<Arg>
<New id="RequestLog" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.RequestLogHandler">
<Set name="requestLog">
<New id="RequestLogImpl" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.NCSARequestLog">
<Set name="filename"><Property name="jetty.logs" default="./logs"/>/test-yyyy_mm_dd.request.log</Set>
<Set name="filenameDateFormat">yyyy_MM_dd</Set>
<Set name="LogTimeZone">GMT</Set>
<Set name="retainDays">90</Set>
<Set name="append">true</Set>
</New>
</Set>
</New>
</Arg>
</Call>
...
</Configure>
