    LogView comes with the Roxen Challenger Pro 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 No is selected, the LogView tag will only work inside the LogView user interface pages. If Yes is selected, 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.
