Creating a Custom Log File

CustomLog logs/access_log common TransferLog logs/sample.log

You may want to create new log files in addition to the ones included with Apache. This example uses CustomLog to create a new log file and store the information defined by a previously defined log format named common, as seen in the previous section. You can replace the nickname with the format definition itself. An additional, simpler directive is TRansferlog, which will just take the definition provided by the latest LogFormat directive.
