ShareWay IP's log file is written in an extended WebSTAR log format. WebSTAR log format is a standard tab-delimited text format which can be read by any word processor or spreadsheet application. This format can also be processed by a number of log analyzer applications, such as Open Door's LogDoor product.

Actions related to ShareWay IP are logged using the standard WebSTAR comment format:

!!ShareWay IP 3.0.1 START 08/30/99 16:10:16
!!ShareWay IP 3.0.1 STOP 08/30/99 16:10:21
!!ShareWay IP 3.0.1 ENABLE_LOGGING 08/30/99 16:10:01
!!ShareWay IP 3.0.1 DISABLE_LOGGING 08/30/99 16:10:08

Other operations are logged using the following tokens (which are included in the !!LOG_FORMAT line whenever ShareWay IP starts up or logging is enabled):

• DATE, TIME
  • same values as in WebSTAR logs
• RESULT
  • OK for normal login or logout
  • ERR! for failed login or abnormal logout
• HOSTNAME
  • the IP address of the client
• URL
  • not used in ShareWay IP, but included for compatibility with other Open Door log files
• USER
  • user name (guest is logged as blank)
• AFP_METHOD (new token)
  • FPLogin
  • FPLogout
• AFP_STATUS (new token)
  • Additional result code. Indicates Mac error code if available. See AFP Error Codes below.
• BYTES_SENT
  • FPLogout lines only. The total number of bytes transferred while the client was connected, counted from the time the user logged on (even if the user was already connected when logging was enabled). All bytes transferred during the session are included, not just the bytes read from or written to files.
• TIME_TAKEN
  • FPLogout lines only. The total time the user was connected, measured from the time the user logged in. Format is hh:mm:ss.

Note that when ShareWay IP stops or quits, all users who are currently logged in will be listed as logging out through an FPLogout line with error code -5027.
