activities and application logs for diagnostic logs. The application and diagnostic logs are an
addition to operating system logs that log error and informational messages about Flash
Media Server 2 operations.
The access log records information about requests by Flash Player and Flash Media Server 2
application instances. Using these logs, you can find out when a user connected to the server,
the total bandwidth consumed during the session, and information about resources such as
the streams accessed by the connection. You can use this information to determine which

The default access log is access.xx.log, which is located in the Flash Media Server 2 logs
directory. The default configuration for Flash Media Server 2 creates a single access log per
server. You can also configure Flash Media Server 2 to create a separate file per vhost. When
logging is configured on a per-vhost basis, all logs for a particular vhost are found in a
subdirectory within the logs directory. The name of the subdirectory matches the vhost name.
Substitution strings can be found in the [] brackets, YYYY, MM, DD, and NN representing
year, month, date, and version. You can use the substitution string to customize the filename
of the access log.
