Log File Field Structure Definitions:

• Timestamp
  The time when the client socket is closed. The format is "Unix time" (seconds since Jan 1, 1970) with millisecond resolution. This can be modified to visible format by "cat access.log | perl -nwe s/^(\d+)/localtime($1)/e; print".

• Elapsed Time
  The elapsed time of the request, in milliseconds. This is time between the accept() and close() of the client socket.

• Client Address
  The IP address of the connecting client, or the FQDN if the 'log_fqdn' option is enabled in the config file.

• Log Tag / HTTP Code
  The Log Tag describes how the request was treated locally (hit, miss, etc). All the tags are described in the link provided in the "Related Topics" section below. The HTTP code is the reply code taken from the first line of the HTTP reply header. Non-HTTP requests may have zeroreply codes.

• Size
  The number of bytes written to the client.

• Request Method
  The HTTP request method, or ICP_QUERY for ICP requests.
