WMS Client Logging - log entries

The WMS Client Logging plug-in logs the activity of clients that connect to your content. You can use it on both servers and publishing points. You can configure the following options for this plug-in.

Item	Description
Log entries	Settings in this area define which statistics are to be written to the log file.
Clients connected to the server	Select this check box to gather data from clients that are receiving the stream directly from the server.
Sessions played from a player cache or a cache/proxy server	Select this check box to gather client activity data from downstream servers
Player statistics	Select this check box to have the plug-in save logs that are created by player activity only.
Only player statistics with the Role attribute value	When content is being streamed from a playlist, select this check box to customize which player statistics logs are saved based on the role attribute of the media element. The default role attribute for the logging plug-in is ADVERTISEMENT, which is used to identify a stream in a playlist as an advertisement. If you are using other role attributes, you can type a different role value in the space provided. For more information about the role attribute, see role attribute. The role attribute is not available in the legacy log format.
Distribution server statistics	Select this check box to have the plug-in save logs that are created by distribution server activity.
