6.2.8 Setup for collecting logs of Web accesses

You must set whether or not Web access logs are to be acquired, and specify filtering conditions for the logs that are to be acquired. Because collection of Web access logs may result in a large amount of data, you should set filtering conditions in such a manner that log information for Web pages that are used frequently in jobs will not be collected.

Acquire Web access log
When selected, this option specifies that Web access logs are to be acquired. The default is that this check box is not selected (Web access logs are not to be acquired).

Use the filtering function
When selected, this option specifies that the filtering function is to be used for acquiring Web access logs. This option is enabled when the Acquire Web access log check box is selected. The default is that this check box is not selected (the filtering function is not to be used).
