Entries

Entries consist of a sequence of fields relating to a single HTTP transaction. Fields are separated by white space; Citrix recommends the use of tab characters. If a field in a particular entry is not used, a dash (-) marks the omitted field.

Directives

Directives record information about the logging process. Lines beginning with the pound sign (#) contain directives.

The following table describes the directives.
