<p>The AgentLog directive sets the name of the file to which
the server will log the UserAgent header of incoming requests.
<em>File-pipe</em> is one of</p>
<dl>
<dt>A filename</dt>
<dd>A filename relative to the <a
href="core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a>.</dd>
<dt>`|' followed by a command</dt>
<dd>A program to receive the agent log information on its
standard input. Note the a new program will not be started
for a VirtualHost if it inherits the AgentLog from the main
server.</dd>
</dl>
<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.
<p><strong>Security:</strong> See the <a
href="../misc/security_tips.html">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>This directive is provided for compatibility with NCSA
1.4. The same result can be obtained by using the <a
href="mod_log_config.html#logformat">LogFormat</a> and <a
href="mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a> directives as
shown in the following example:</p>
<pre>
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
CustomLog logs/agent_log agent
