Citrix Systems Network Router NETSCALER 9.3 User Manual

w

Solaris: The libnswl.a library located in /usr/local/netscaler/bin.

1. Add the following two C functions defined by the system in a C source file:

ns_userDefFieldName() : This function returns the string that must be added as a
custom field name in the log record.

ns_userDefFieldVal() : This function implements the custom field value, then
returns it as a string that must be added at the end of the log record.

2. Compile the file into an object file.

3. Link the object file with the NSWL library (and optionally, with third party

libraries) to form a new NSWL executable.

4. Add a %d string at the end of the logFormat string in the configuration file (log.conf).

##########

# A new file is created every midnight or on 

reaching 20MB file size,

# and the file name is /datadisk5/netscaler/log/

NS<hostname>/Nsmmddyy.log and create digital

#signature field for each record.

BEGIN CACHE_F

    logFormat     custom "%a - "%{user-agent}i" [%d/

%B/%Y %T -%g] "%x" %s %b%{referrer}i "%{user-

agent}i" "%{cookie}i" %d "

    logInterval         Daily

    logFileSizeLimit        20

    logFilenameFormat        /datadisk5/netscaler/

log/%v/NS%{%m%d%y}t.log

END CACHE_F

To customize the format in which log file data should appear, specify a character string
as the argument of the LogFormat log property definition. For more information, see 

 on page 118. The following is an example

where character strings are used to create a log format:

 LogFormat Custom ""%a - "%{user-agent}i" %[%d/%m/%Y]t %U %s %b 

%T"

w

The string can contain the “c” type control characters \n and \t to represent new
lines and tabs.

w

Use the <Esc> key with literal quotes and backslashes.

The characteristics of the request are logged by placing % directives in the format
string, which are replaced in the log file by the values.
