26 To be sure, you have to check the fields defined in your log format
27 variable in the configuration. The date and source IP address fields are
28 obvious. The dashes mean "field is empty". My guess is that one of
29 those is for http_user. 470 most probably is the http error code (means
30 bad request) and the last field with value "470" would be "bytes sent".

32 Again: I'm just guessing. If it was up to me, I'd check the config
33 files out and do some googling to get the meaning of those fields and
34 their values.
