The Basics of Log Storage

Log storage is created by web gateways that convert and format properties together while writing these results into a log file. When creating a customized log or modifying an existing log, it is important to understand the most efficient ways to do so because Log Storage is crucial to improving traffic generation which will in turn increase productivity and profits.

The basics of log storage can be broken down into two simple steps:

1.     1. Define the Log Line. When creating the user, the first step is to create the log entry. This is done by creating an event to “Set Property Value” à choose the “User Defined Log Line.” From here all that is needed is to decide is what properties to add to format the log in the best, most effective, applicable way to fit the needs of each individual business. Users can convert, join and format all the different properties so that their log storage has the desired look and feel. It is best to set this up in a way that will be easy to analyze and understand how to make the business more productive.

2.     2. Writing the user to create a Log File. When working with log storage files users will also want to send the log string to the file system logging engine. This is where their log data will be managed. These files use the user defined properties that have stored the string as a parameter to send the data to a specific file logging engine.

Now that the specific log data is defined and written correctly, users will be able to understand these log storage basics to better analyze all website data compiled in these log files.

With the information that found from the log storage, users now can and should analyze the information to determine what aspects can be improved upon to increase your traffic generation and productivity. The more business owners, individuals, marketing personnel and IT teams analyze and compile new data, the more targeted traffic they will be able to bring to their websites.
