19.22 mod_log_config

The mod_log_config module provides logging of requests made to the server. See the Apache documentation for an explanation of the logging format.

CookieLog

---

  CookieLog   filename  

[ server config , or within <VirtualHost>]

Specifies the location of the file where cookie requests can be logged, relative to the ServerRoot. This directive is deprecated.

CustomLog

---

  CustomLog   file  format 

[ server config , or within <VirtualHost>]

Specifies the location of the file where logs can be recorded, either as a fully qualified filename or relative to the ServerRoot. You can instruct the server to use a specific format to log the records using the format parameter. In addition, you can specify a formatting nickname as defined by the LogFormat directive.

LogFormat

---

  LogFormat   format  [  nickname  ] 

[ server config , or within <VirtualHost>]

This sets the default format of the log file specified by the TransferLog directive. If you wish, you can also use the directive to declare a nickname for a format. If you specify a nickname, the command does not apply the format as the default. Log formats are defined using the "Common Log Format," which is explained in greater detail in the Apache documentation.

TransferLog

---

  TransferLog   filepipe-command  

[ server config , or within <VirtualHost>]

Specifies a default log file using a format dictated by the LogFormat command. If you wish, you can specify a pipe () followed by a shell command in place of the filename; this program runs as the user that started the httpd server and receives the log information as standard input. For example:

 TransferLog "grep PUT >>.putlog"
