The oyster.log file is created during every OYSTER run. The contents of the oyster.log file vary depending on the values set for the Explanation, Debug, and SS attributes of the Settings tag in the OysterRunScript.

If both the Explanation and Debug attributes are assigned the value "No" then the oyster.log file will contain only the output that was printed to the command prompt unless there are major errors in the run. This output consists of a report that is comprised of various statistics that describe the run. This report has six sections:

• Summary Stats
• Cluster Stats
• Rule Stats
• Index Stats
• Resolution Stats
• Timing Stats

Each of these sections contains various statistics. Each of these is defined in the following sections.
