2) To list logs, run the following:

 

# exe http-view report XX

 

Replace XX with the desired value from the following:

 

00 Top entries by total HTTP requests
01 Top entries by bandwidth consumed
02 Top entries by cachable % of total requests
03 Top entries by cache hit % of total requests
04 Top entries by cache hit % of cachable requests
05 Top entries by bandwidth saved via cache hits

 

By default, the top 10 reports within a duration of 60 seconds are listed.

To increase list count, attach a number after the command. For example:
 
# exe http-view report 01 50
 

In this case, 50 reports will be shown.
