Encounter Log Guide¶

The web.alive encounter log is a client-side log that records a user's interactions with other users in the web.alive environment.

The Encounter Log follows the W3C logging standard and has the following fields:

• Event Type
• User Session ID - This field and the next 3 refer to the "other" user in the interaction
• User Name - Or number of receivers if there are multiple receivers
• User Picture URL
• User Badge background URL
• Start Time - Interaction start (local date and time)
• End Time - Interaction end (local date and time)
• Location Name - Name of the environment and name of the volume where the interaction took place, separated by "."
• Message - Message associated with the interaction (if any)

The file name for Encounter logs is always Encounter_<timestamp>.log. These files are never deleted; it is left up to the user to delete files that are no longer required. The table below lists the various "event types" that may be encountered in the Encounter log file.
