Below is an example of the information collected based on a standard request for a World Wide Web document:
123.123.23.12 - - 9/28/99, 0:39:40, W3SVC, WWW-DTC, 456.456.56.45, 481, 181, 9900, 200, 0, GET, /CommunityInvolvement.htm, -,
123.123.23.12 - - this is the host name (or IP address) associated with the requester (you as the visitor). In this case, depending on the requester's method of network connection, the host name (or IP address) may or may not identify a specific computer. Connections via many Internet Service Providers assign different IP addresses for each session, so the host name identifies only the ISP. The host name (or IP address) will identify a specific computer if that computer has a fixed IP address.
9/28/99, 0:39:40 -- this is the date and time of the request.
W3SVC -- this is the service.
WWW-DTC -- this is the systems name.
456.456.56.45 -- this is the responding host address.
481, 181 -- this is the click location.
9900 -- this is the size of the requested file in bytes.
200 -- this is the status code - 200 is okay - the request was filled.
GET, /CommunityInvolvement.htm -- this is the location of the requested file.
