NSA HTTP Components

Chapter 5

You can also use the nsahttp utility to configure operating settings for the NSA HTTP

service, including the following items:

• TCP port number for NSA registration and deregistration

• maximum system memory usage for the URI data cache

• idle HTTP TCP connection timeout value

• NSA HTTP cache entry timeout

• maximum URI data size (maximum web page size) that can be cached by the NSA HTTP

service

• HTTP access logging options

— access logging enabled or disabled

— ASCII or binary log file format

— log file location

• statistics collection

• debug level for event logging

You can also use nsahttp to convert binary HTTP access log files to ASCII Common Log

Format (CLF), a de facto industry standard used by many log servers.

Configuration File

The /etc/rc.config.d/nsahttpconf configuration file stores NSA HTTP configuration

information to be used at system startup time and each time NSA HTTP is activated. NSA

HTTP can be enabled or disabled automatically at system startup depending on the setting of

the NSAHTTP_ENABLE flag in the /etc/rc.config.d/nsahttpconf file. In addition, the

/etc/rc.config.d/nsahttpconf file contains all/any NSA HTTP settings to be used in

conjunction with the NSA HTTP startup script.

When delivered with NSA HTTP product, the /etc/rc.config.d/nsahttpconf file contains

default values for all NSA HTTP options. If an option is not set in the

/etc/rc.config.d/nsahttpconf file, NSA HTTP will use the default value, as listed in the

nsahttp (1) man page.

For details on configuring /etc/rc.config.d/nsahttpconf, refer to the nsahttp (1) man

page.
