Traffic Log Filter Error Analysis

This tutorial shows you how to use the UAM Traffic Log with the Filter to analyse the error response codes of a specific image or folder.

Please note:

The Traffic Log is only available to our hosting customers.

Traffic Log​

The Traffic Log allows hosting customers to monitor their traffic. An introduction to the Traffic Log can be found in another tutorial.

Using Filters​

The Edit Filter option allows you to filter the Traffic Log results and restrict them to specific paths. This can be used to restrict access to the log for a particular customer, for example, or if you want to analyse the error response codes for a particular connector, folder or even image.

As the filter is a positive list filter, you must list everything you want to include.

Note:

The paths in the array must be listed without slashes at the beginning or end of the position.

For example, if you want to search for the logs of a specific image:

{
"includes "connector1/folder1/1234.jpg"
}

In this case, the entire traffic log is filtered and only the corresponding folders are displayed.

To see the logs, you need to go to Browse, click on connector1, then folder1 and you will see the image 1234.jpg.

Clicking on this will show you all the logs for the requests on the images in the timeframe selected in the Month drop down.

Traffic Log Filter Example

If you want to filter the contents of a particular folder, add the folder to the Edit Filter list.

As well as manually checking each file as described above, you can also use the drop-down menu options

  • Top 400 (Bad) Requests

  • Top 404 (Not Found) Requests

to get a quick overview of bad requests.
