Host Header Logging into the plaintext file

This feature is the simplest way to track HTTP requests which packets match at least one rule listed in the filter. To use Host Header Logging into the plaintext file, you should specify a Filename template for the logfiles. Every filter must have a unique Filename Template because it has own independent Host Header Collector.

Each line of the logfile contains information about one captured HTTP Request, for example:

2003-11-26 18:39:13   4 11 1  GET www.w3.org 192.168.4.5:1410 216.16.16.105:80 1218 24609
2003-11-26 18:39:19   4 11 1  GET www.w3.org 192.168.4.5:1411 216.16.16.105:80 748 12006
2003-11-26 18:39:31   4 11 1  GET www.w3.org 192.168.4.5:1412 216.16.16.105:80 718 12060
