JUNIPER MEDIA FLOW CONTROLLER (ACCESS LOGS) (NCSA)

This plugin detects and analyzes Media Flow Controller Access Logs that are in the NCSA Combined Log Format followed by many popular web servers including Apache. Juniper Media Flow Controller version 11.A and earlier releases generated access logs that conformed to the NCSA standard. All access logs recorded the following fields that collectively referred to as the as Combined Log Format (CLF):

    %h %V %u %t "%r" %s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-Agent}i" %y

Please see Media Flow Controller CLI Reference Guide for a description of these fields. Later releases of Juniper Media Flow Controller support the more flexible W3C access log format which is supported by a different Sawmill plug-in.

The reports generated by this plugin can be categorized as:

  • Date and Time based reports such as daily, weekly, monthly & yearly reports of user
  • Content analysis reports based on content popularity, server domain(s), server response status and content referrers
  • User demographic reports based on user's Country/State/City/Region, and ISP
