Hi all,

Is there a way to use Webtrends to perform the log tracing in Wowza Server?☹

And is there a way or suggestion to change the Wowza access log to NCSA log format? 🙂

Thanks 😛

There is not a tutorial that I know of for integrating Webtrends with Wowza. I did find this old thread which suggests it may be possible: [URL="[[https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?238-Log-Files](https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?238-Log-Files)]([https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?238-Log-Files](https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?238-Log-Files))"][https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?238-Log-Files](https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?238-Log-Files)

Not quite sure. Apache uses log4j. Apache uses NCSA. The logs could be integrated into any database/analyzer, I suppose, with the use of the proper parser or template. Existing examples include Sawmill, and Casterstats.
