Description

DOMINO_Access_Logging enables a file-based HTTP access log in the classic Common Log Format (CLF) or Combined Log Format. Unlike domlog.nsf, this log is a plain text file and can be processed directly by standard tools (GoAccess, awstats, ELK, Splunk, Logrotate). The log is typically stored in the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory or a configured log path and is rotated daily.

Example configuration

DOMINO_Access_Logging=2

Notes & pitfalls

  • Takes effect only after restart task http.
  • Complements domlog.nsf; does not replace it. If you don't need both, disable domlog.nsf to avoid duplicate write load.
  • Under very high HTTP load, actively monitor log rotation – the file can grow quickly.
  • Level 2 contains additional fields (User-Agent, Referrer) – check whether storing this is allowed under data-protection rules.
