-
- <p>This module provides for flexible logging of client
- requests. Logs are written in a customizable format, and may be
- written directly to a file, or to an external program.
- Conditional logging is provided so that individual requests may
- be included or excluded from the logs based on characteristics
- of the request.</p>
-
- <p>Three directives are provided by this module:
- <code>TransferLog</code> to create a log file,
- <code>LogFormat</code> to set a custom format, and
- <code>CustomLog</code> to define a log file and format in one
- step. The <code>TransferLog</code> and <code>CustomLog</code>
- directives can be used multiple times in each server to cause
- each request to be logged to multiple files.</p>
-<h2>Directives</h2><ul><li><a href="#cookielog">CookieLog</a></li><li><a href="#customlog">CustomLog</a></li><li><a href="#logformat">LogFormat</a></li><li><a href="#transferlog">TransferLog</a></li></ul><p><strong>See also </strong></p><ul><li><a href="../logs.html">Apache Log Files</a></li></ul><h2><a name="formats">Custom Log Formats</a></h2>
-
-
- <p>The format argument to the <code>LogFormat</code> and
- <code>CustomLog</code> directives is a string. This string is
- logged to the log file for each request. It can contain literal
- characters copied into the log files and the c-type control
- characters "\n" and "\t" to represent new-lines and tabs.
- Literal quotes and back-slashes should be escaped with
- back-slashes.</p>
-
- <p>The characteristics of the request itself are logged by
- placing "%" directives in the format string, which are replaced
- in the log file by the values as follows:</p>
-

- <p>The "..." can be nothing at all (<em>e.g.</em>, <code>"%h %u
- %r %s %b"</code>), or it can indicate conditions for inclusion
- of the item (which will cause it to be replaced with "-" if the
- condition is not met). The forms of condition are a list of
- HTTP status codes, which may or may not be preceded by "!".
- Thus, "%400,501{User-agent}i" logs User-agent: on 400 errors
- and 501 errors (Bad Request, Not Implemented) only;
- "%!200,304,302{Referer}i" logs Referer: on all requests which
- did <strong>not</strong> return some sort of normal status.</p>
-
- <p>Note that there is no escaping performed on the strings from
- %...r, %...i and %...o. This is mainly to comply with the
- requirements of the Common Log Format. This implies that
- clients can insert control characters into the log, so care
- should be taken when dealing with raw log files.</p>
-
- <p>Some commonly used log format strings are:</p>
-
- <dl>
- <dt>Common Log Format (CLF)</dt>
-
- <dd><code>"%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;s %b"</code></dd>
-
- <dt>Common Log Format with Virtual Host</dt>
-
- <dd><code>"%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;s %b"</code></dd>
-
- <dt>NCSA extended/combined log format</dt>
-
- <dd><code>"%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;s %b \"%{Referer}i\"
- \"%{User-agent}i\""</code></dd>
-
- <dt>Referer log format</dt>
-
- <dd><code>"%{Referer}i -&gt; %U"</code></dd>
-
- <dt>Agent (Browser) log format</dt>
-
- <dd><code>"%{User-agent}i"</code></dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>Note that the canonical <a href="core.html#servername">ServerName</a> and <a href="mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a> of the server serving the
- request are used for <code>%v</code> and <code>%p</code>
- respectively. This happens regardless of the <a href="core.html#usecanonicalname">UseCanonicalName</a> setting
- because otherwise log analysis programs would have to duplicate
- the entire vhost matching algorithm in order to decide what
- host really served the request.</p>
- <h2>Security Considerations</h2>
-
-
-
- <p>See the <a href="../misc/security_tips.html#serverroot">security tips</a>
- document for details on why your security could be compromised
- if the directory where logfiles are stored is writable by
- anyone other than the user that starts the server.</p>

- <p>The <code class="directive">CustomLog</code> directive is used to
- log requests to the server. A log format is specified, and the
- logging can optionally be made conditional on request
- characteristics using environment variables.</p>
-
- <p>The first argument, which specifies the location to which
- the logs will be written, can take on one of the following two
- types of values:</p>
-
- <dl>
- <dt><em>file</em></dt>
-
- <dd>A filename, relative to the <a href="core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a>.</dd>
-
- <dt><em>pipe</em></dt>
-
- <dd>The pipe character "<code>|</code>", followed by the path
- to a program to receive the log information on its standard
- input. <strong>Security:</strong> if a program is used, then
- it will be run under the user who started httpd. This will be
- root if the server was started by root; be sure that the
- program is secure.</dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>The second argument specifies what will be written to the
- log file. It can specify either a <em>nickname</em> defined by
- a previous <a href="#logformat">LogFormat</a> directive, or it
- can be an explicit <em>format</em> string as described in the
- <a href="#formats">log formats</a> section.</p>
-
- <p>For example, the following two sets of directives have
- exactly the same effect:</p>
-
-<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
- # CustomLog with format nickname<br>
- LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;s %b" common<br>
- CustomLog logs/access_log common<br>
-<br>
- # CustomLog with explicit format string<br>
- CustomLog logs/access_log "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;s %b"<br>
-</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
-
- <p>The third argument is optional and allows the decision on
- whether or not to log a particular request to be based on the
- presence or absence of a particular variable in the server
- environment. If the specified <a href="../env.html">environment
- variable</a> is set for the request (or is not set, in the case
- of a '<code>env=!<em>name</em></code>' clause), then the
- request will be logged.</p>
-
- <p>Environment variables can be set on a <em>per</em>-request
- basis using the <code><a href="mod_setenvif.html">mod_setenvif</a></code>
- and/or <code><a href="mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> modules. For
- example, if you don't want to record requests for all GIF
- images on your server in a separate logfile but not your main
- log, you can use:</p>
-
-<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
- SetEnvIf Request_URI \.gif$ gif-image<br>
- CustomLog gif-requests.log common env=gif-image<br>
- CustomLog nongif-requests.log common env=!gif-image
-</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>

- <p>This directive specifies the format of the access log
- file.</p>
-
- <p>The <code class="directive">LogFormat</code> directive can take one of two
- forms. In the first form, where only one argument is specified,
- this directive sets the log format which will be used by logs
- specified in subsequent <code class="directive">TransferLog</code>
- directives. The single argument can specify an explicit
- <em>format</em> as discussed in <a href="#formats">custom log
- formats</a> section above. Alternatively, it can use a
- <em>nickname</em> to refer to a log format defined in a
- previous <code class="directive">LogFormat</code> directive as described
- below.</p>
-
- <p>The second form of the <code class="directive">LogFormat</code>
- directive associates an explicit <em>format</em> with a
- <em>nickname</em>. This <em>nickname</em> can then be used in
- subsequent <code class="directive">LogFormat</code> or
- <code class="directive">CustomLog</code> directives rather than
- repeating the entire format string. A
- <code class="directive">LogFormat</code>
- directive which defines a nickname <strong>does nothing
- else</strong> -- that is, it <em>only</em> defines the
- nickname, it doesn't actually apply the format and make it the
- default. Therefore, it will not affect subsequent
- <code class="directive">TransferLog</code> directives.</p>
-
- <p>For example:</p>
-
- <blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;s %b"
- vhost_common</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
-

-
- <p>This directive has exactly the same arguments and effect as
- the <code class="directive">CustomLog</code> directive, with the
- exception that it does not allow the log format to be specified
- explicitly or for conditional logging of requests. Instead, the
- log format is determined by the most recently specified
- specified <code class="directive">LogFormat</code> directive (which
- does not define a nickname). Common Log Format is used if no
- other format has been specified.</p>
-
- <p>Example:</p>
-<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
- LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\""<br>
- TransferLog logs/access_log
