Question:

How do I create a profile for my Network Appliance NetCache log files?

Symptoms:

'Network Appliance NetCache' is not available in the list of log file formats when creating a profile in the 'General Activity' cartridge.

Causes:

The log created by Network Appliance NetCache is in "Squid" format. Since the information captured in the log file only contains inbound and outbound activity, the only cartridges that will analyze the log files successfully are the "Incoming Firewall Activity" and "Outgoing Firewall Activity" cartridges.

Procedure:

Follow these steps to configure a profile to analyze Network Appliance NetCache log files.

From the main console, select either the Outgoing Firewall Activity or Incoming Firewall Activity cartridge.
Click the New Profile link in the left menu.
A new dialog opens. Select whether you firewall resides on a single physical machine or on multiple machines, and click Next.
Enter a Description of the profile in the text box provided.
From the Log File Format drop-down menu, select Network Appliance NetCache Log File (Squid).
Continue with the remaining requests for information until the profile configuration is complete.
