Using the Log Manager
To access the Log Manager function, select Statistics
from the main menu, and select Log Manager from the Statistics
menu.
The Log Manager allows you to obtain raw server
logs about your site activity and traffic. You can view and/or delete,
print, download, and date your log files. You may disable logging
altogether to conserve your disk space.
Your server logs can also be downloaded for use
with other statistics packages.
You can use the Web Stats function to analyze and
view your log files in an easy-to-read, graphical display. While Log
Manager allows you to manage your log files and view them in their raw
state, Web Stats makes them easier to read.

Rotating and dating log files
If you would like to have your server logs stored
according to a specific date, click the Rotate Activity Logs
button. This function creates a text file from the activity log, and
resets the log. The name of this text file is a combination of the date
it is created and the words "access log" appended in front of it
separated by an underscore.
Example: The activity logs rotated on January 5,
2001 will be saved in a file named: access_log_Jan5_2001
If you rotate your activity log more than once a
day, the log's information will be appended to the present day's dated
text file.
The dated text files, along with the activity log,
are displayed in a scrollable panel under the Options tab.
To rotate your activity log, click the Rotate
Activity Logs button under the Options tab.
