| <h3>Summary</h3> |
| |
| <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 class="directive"><a href="#transferlog">TransferLog</a></code> to create |
| a log file, <code class="directive"><a href="#logformat">LogFormat</a></code> |
| to set a custom format, and <code class="directive"><a href="#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> to define a log file and format in one |
| step. The <code class="directive">TransferLog</code> and <code class="directive">CustomLog</code> directives can be used multiple times in each |
| server to cause each request to be logged to multiple files.</p> |

| |
| <p>The format argument to the <code class="directive"><a href="#logformat">LogFormat</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> directives is a string. This string is |
| used to log each request to the log file. It can contain literal |
| characters copied into the log files and the C-style control |
| characters "\n" and "\t" to represent new-lines and tabs. |
| Literal quotes and backslashes should be escaped with |
| backslashes.</p> |
| |
| <p>The characteristics of the request itself are logged by |
| placing "<code>%</code>" directives in the format string, which are |
| replaced in the log file by the values as follows:</p> |

| <p>The "<var>...</var>" 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 <code>User-agent:</code> on 400 |
| errors and 501 errors (Bad Request, Not Implemented) only; |
| "%!200,304,302{Referer}i" logs <code>Referer:</code> on all requests |
| which did <em>not</em> return some sort of normal status.</p> |
| |
| <p>The modifiers "<" and ">" can be used for requests that |
| have been internally redirected to choose whether the original or |
| final (respectively) request should be consulted. By default, the |
| <code>%</code> directives <code>%s, %U, %T, %D,</code> and |
| <code>%r</code> look at the original request while all others look |
| at the final request. So for example, <code>%>s</code> can be |
| used to record the final status of the request and |
| <code>%<u</code> can be used to record the original |
| authenticated user on a request that is internally redirected to an |
| unauthenticated resource.</p> |
| |
| <p>Note that in httpd 2.0 versions prior to 2.0.46, no escaping was performed |
| on the strings from <code>%...r</code>, <code>%...i</code> and |
| <code>%...o</code>. This was mainly to comply with the requirements of |
| the Common Log Format. This implied that clients could insert control |
| characters into the log, so you had to be quite careful when dealing |
| with raw log files.</p> |
| |
| <p>For security reasons, starting with 2.0.46, non-printable and |
| other special characters are escaped mostly by using |
| <code>\x<var>hh</var></code> sequences, where <var>hh</var> stands for |
| the hexadecimal representation of the raw byte. Exceptions from this |
| rule are <code>"</code> and <code>\</code> which are escaped by prepending |
| a backslash, and all whitespace characters which are written in their |
| C-style notation (<code>\n</code>, <code>\t</code> etc).</p> |
| |
| <p>Note that in httpd 2.0, unlike 1.3, the <code>%b</code> and |
| <code>%B</code> format strings do not represent the number of |
| bytes sent to the client, but simply the size in bytes of the HTTP |
| response (which will differ, for instance, if the connection is |
| aborted, or if SSL is used). The <code>%O</code> format provided |
| by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_logio.html">mod_logio</a></code> will log the actual number of bytes |
| sent over the network.</p> |
| |
| <p>Some commonly used log format strings are:</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>Common Log Format (CLF)</dt> |
| <dd><code>"%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"</code></dd> |
| |
| <dt>Common Log Format with Virtual Host</dt> |
| <dd><code>"%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"</code></dd> |
| |
| <dt>NCSA extended/combined log format</dt> |
| <dd><code>"%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" |
| \"%{User-agent}i\""</code></dd> |
| |
| <dt>Referer log format</dt> |
| <dd><code>"%{Referer}i -> %U"</code></dd> |
| |
| <dt>Agent (Browser) log format</dt> |
| <dd><code>"%{User-agent}i"</code></dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>Note that the canonical <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> of the server serving the |
| request are used for <code>%v</code> and <code>%p</code> |
| respectively. This happens regardless of the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#usecanonicalname">UseCanonicalName</a></code> 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> |

| <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 one of the following two |
| types of values:</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><var>file</var></dt> |
| <dd>A filename, relative to the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><var>pipe</var></dt> |
| <dd>The pipe character "<code>|</code>", followed by the path |
| to a program to receive the log information on its standard |
| input. |
| |
| <div class="warning"><h3>Security:</h3> |
| <p>If a program is used, then it will be run as the user who |
| started <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>. This will be root if the server was |
| started by root; be sure that the program is secure.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="warning"><h3>Note</h3> |
| <p>When entering a file path on non-Unix platforms, care should be taken |
| to make sure that only forward slashed are used even though the platform |
| may allow the use of back slashes. In general it is a good idea to always |
| use forward slashes throughout the configuration files.</p> |
| </div></dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>The second argument specifies what will be written to the |
| log file. It can specify either a <var>nickname</var> defined by |
| a previous <code class="directive"><a href="#logformat">LogFormat</a></code> |
| directive, or it can be an explicit <var>format</var> 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> |
| |
| <div class="example"><p><code> |
| # CustomLog with format nickname<br /> |
| LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>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\" %>s %b" |
| </code></p></div> |
| |
| <p>The third argument is optional and controls whether or |
| not to log a particular request 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=!<var>name</var></code>' clause), then the |
| request will be logged.</p> |
| |
| <p>Environment variables can be set on a per-request |
| basis using the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_setenvif.html">mod_setenvif</a></code> |
| and/or <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> modules. For |
| example, if you want to record requests for all GIF |
| images on your server in a separate logfile but not in your main |
| log, you can use:</p> |
| |
| <div class="example"><p><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></p></div> |
| |
| <p>Or, to reproduce the behavior of the old RefererIgnore |
| directive, you might use the following:</p> |
| |
| <div class="example"><p><code> |
| SetEnvIf Referer example\.com localreferer<br /> |
| CustomLog referer.log referer env=!localreferer |
| </code></p></div> |

| <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 |
| <var>format</var> as discussed in the <a href="#formats">custom log |
| formats</a> section above. Alternatively, it can use a |
| <var>nickname</var> 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 <var>format</var> with a |
| <var>nickname</var>. This <var>nickname</var> can then be used in |
| subsequent <code class="directive">LogFormat</code> or |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> directives |
| rather than repeating the entire format string. A |
| <code class="directive">LogFormat</code> directive that 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"><a href="#transferlog">TransferLog</a></code> directives. |
| In addition, <code class="directive">LogFormat</code> cannot use one nickname |
| to define another nickname. Note that the nickname should not contain |
| percent signs (<code>%</code>).</p> |
| |
| <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><p><code> |
| LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" vhost_common |
| </code></p></div> |
| |
| </div> |
| <div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> |
| <div class="directive-section"><h2><a name="TransferLog" id="TransferLog">TransferLog</a> <a name="transferlog" id="transferlog">Directive</a></h2> |
| <table class="directive"> |
| <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Description">Description:</a></th><td>Specify location of a log file</td></tr> |

| <p>This directive has exactly the same arguments and effect as |
| the <code class="directive"><a href="#customlog">CustomLog</a></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 |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#logformat">LogFormat</a></code> directive |
| which does not define a nickname. Common Log Format is used if no |
| other format has been specified.</p> |

| <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><p><code> |

| TransferLog logs/access_log |
