Transaction Logs
Transaction logs allow administrators to view the traffic that has passed through the SE. Typical fields
in the transaction log are the date and time when a request was made, the URL that was requested,
whether it was a cache hit or a cache miss, the type of request, the number of bytes transferred, and the
source IP address. For more information about configuring transaction log settings, see the “Configuring
Transaction Logs” section on page 4-26.
