By default, to which log facility is HTTP traffic logged?

By default, HTTP traffic is logged to the "Main" log facility in a Blue Coat Proxy. This log facility is designed to capture a broad range of information, including general operational data and traffic statistics, which encompass HTTP transactions. The "Main" log is integral for administrators to monitor and review regular proxy operations, as it consolidates key events and data relevant to the functioning of the proxy service.

Other log facilities serve more specialized purposes: for instance, the "Access" log is specifically tailored for tracking user access attempts, the "Error" log captures error messages related to the proxy's operation, and the "Debug" log is used for in-depth troubleshooting and debugging of the proxy’s behavior. Understanding the function of the Main log and its role in capturing essential HTTP traffic helps provide insights into system performance and user activity within the proxy environment, making it crucial for effective network management and security monitoring.
