The server controls the log file format by using a log template string. You can reconfigure the log template string. The server logs the logging template in to the log file when the server creates a new log file or whenever the user changes the logging template. The log template can contain a number of formatting commands. A single upper- or lowercase letter follows the character.
Case is significant in the log template.
The server copies other information in the template to the log file entry without a change. The user reconfigures the server. The server creates a new log file. This helps programs that analyze log files to produce statistics. The server records the time when it receives, not completes, the request.
