There is an option available that allows collecting usage statistics in logs. To enable logging of requests, you need to perform the steps described in this guide.
1. Enable Direct Connection with AppServer
At the moment all the requests go to the CGI component (ssrv.cgi) and then transferred to AppServer. In order to enable the collecting of statistics in a log file, you need to configure the direct connection between the product that you integrated into you web app and Application Server (AppServer).
Visit the Setting up Direct Connection with AppServer guide to enable the direct connection.
2. Enable Statistics Logging
Right after you configured the direct connection, all the requests will be processed directly by AppServer. Then you will be able to enable logging of requests by AppServer. You need to change the default values of SaveRequestStatistic and RequestStatisticFilePath parameters in the AppServerX.xml file that are responsible for logging of statistics.
SaveRequestStatistic parameter regulates whether the service usage statistics should be logged. The usage statistics information is the general information about date and time of a request, domain, service ID, N of a session, type of command (spellcheck, grammar_check, get_suggestions and etc), user agent, language, look&feel. This type of the information might be useful if there is a need to monitor usage statistics of the WebSpellChecker services.Description: Parameter type: Boolean Default value: OFF Possible values: ON, OFF <SaveRequestStatistic>OFF</SaveRequestStatistic>
Description: RequestStatisticFilePath parameter sets a path to a *.log file with requests statistics. Parameter type: String Default value: Logs/RequestStatistic.log Possible values: Path to a log file with requests statistics. <RequestStatisticFilePath>Logs/RequestStatistic.log</RequestStatisticFilePath>
2.1. Turn On SaveRequestStatistic
Change the default value of SaveRequestStatistic from OFF to ON.
<SaveRequestStatistic>ON</SaveRequestStatistic>
2.2. Define Path of Statistics Log
Define a path to a log file where AppServer will record the information about requests processed by AppServer.
<RequestStatisticFilePath>Logs/RequestStatistic.log</RequestStatisticFilePath>
Make sure that a directory and a new file for statistics logs has proper permissions set that allows not only reading the file but also writing to it.
3. Restart AppServer
If there are any changes made in the AppServerX.xml file, you are required to restart AppServer to apply your changes.
