This page provides you with the facility to see the files that have been cached by the web proxy server within IPCop. The web proxy is inactive after first installation of IPCop, and may be activated (and deactivated) through the > page.
Note
The Proxy Log page will only display logs if you have enabled logging on the > page.
Due to the large amount of information that has to be processed, the Web Proxy page can take an appreciable time to appear after its initial selection or an Update.
There are several controls on this page in addition to the basic Month, Day, << (Day before), >> (Day after), and controls described at the beginning of this Section:
The Source IP: dropdown box allows you selectively look at web proxy activity related to individual IP addresses on the local network, or the activity related to ALL machines that have used the proxy.
The Ignore filter: box allows you type in a regular expressions text string to define which file types should be omitted from the web proxy Logs. The default string hides image files (
.gif.jpeg.jpg&.png), stylesheet files (.css) and JavaScript files (.js).The Enable ignore filter: tick box allows you to control whether the Ignore filter: is active or not.
The Restore defaults button allows you to return the above controls and filters to their defaults.
For this page, the Log information appearing in the Log: section of the window consists of:
The Time the file was requested and cached.
The Source IP address of the local system requesting the file.
The Website - or more precisely the URL for each file requested and cached.
Note
The Website URL entries in these Logs are also hyperlinks to the referenced web pages or files.
