Validating log formats to use with IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor

When you add an FTP server in IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor, you first give IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor information to tell it how to connect to the server. Then for FTP servers using xferlog or IIS logs to record transfer activities, you should validate the log formats to ensure that IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor can properly interpret the layout of the log.

The layout of a W3C log file is contained in the data itself so you do not have to define the record format of an FTP server that generates log files in a W3C-format.
