Apache2 log files




















I have been wracking my brain for the past A note to let you know how much I appreciate your. We discovered an issue with our Oscommerce cart pr. I'm very new to the whole idea of having a website.

I didn't expect my service request to be han. There is two type of Apache logs by default. Log resides in following directories.

Apache logs are stored in different paths because of name difference for different distributions. DEB or apt family uses the name apache2 and stores logs as apache2 but the RPM yum family uses the name httpd and stores logs in the httpd directory.

Over the past decade, the software development landscape has shifted dramatically. Long development cycles resulting in big releases are now a thing of the past.

Instead, the focus is on delivering value to the customer quickly and efficiently through small releases delivered at a high frequency. At Sumo, the metric we use at the base of unit economics is the number of logs ingested by our customers. Our data pipeline continuously reports its ingestion statistics in a form of loglines fed into an internal organization in one of our deployments, making it easy to query them later on. In today's digital transformation journey, observability has emerged as the hot topic.

The ability to capture, analyze and correlate all of your machine data is critical to ensure you can meet your reliability objectives. Every level of the application stack emits logs, metrics, traces, and events.

The collection of all of these signals is the first step of having an observable system. Business email Please enter a valid email.

Back to blog results. For example, the following directives will create three access logs. The first contains the basic CLF information, while the second and third contain referer and browser information. This example also shows that it is not necessary to define a nickname with the LogFormat directive. Instead, the log format can be specified directly in the CustomLog directive. There are times when it is convenient to exclude certain entries from the access logs based on characteristics of the client request.

This is easily accomplished with the help of environment variables. First, an environment variable must be set to indicate that the request meets certain conditions. This is usually accomplished with SetEnvIf. Some examples:. As another example, consider logging requests from english-speakers to one log file, and non-english speakers to a different log file.

In a caching scenario one would want to know about the efficiency of the cache. A very simple method to find this out would be:. In that case a cache hit will log - , while a cache miss will log 1. In other cases, a literal "-" will be logged instead. Likewise, in the second example, the Referer will be logged if the HTTP status code is not , , or Note the "! Although we have just shown that conditional logging is very powerful and flexible, it is not the only way to control the contents of the logs.

Log files are more useful when they contain a complete record of server activity. It is often easier to simply post-process the log files to remove requests that you do not want to consider. On even a moderately busy server, the quantity of information stored in the log files is very large. The access log file typically grows 1 MB or more per 10, requests. It will consequently be necessary to periodically rotate the log files by moving or deleting the existing logs.

This cannot be done while the server is running, because Apache httpd will continue writing to the old log file as long as it holds the file open. Instead, the server must be restarted after the log files are moved or deleted so that it will open new log files.

By using a graceful restart, the server can be instructed to open new log files without losing any existing or pending connections from clients.

However, in order to accomplish this, the server must continue to write to the old log files while it finishes serving old requests. It is therefore necessary to wait for some time after the restart before doing any processing on the log files. A typical scenario that simply rotates the logs and compresses the old logs to save space is:. Another way to perform log rotation is using piped logs as discussed in the next section.

Apache httpd is capable of writing error and access log files through a pipe to another process, rather than directly to a file. This capability dramatically increases the flexibility of logging, without adding code to the main server. In order to write logs to a pipe, simply replace the filename with the pipe character " ", followed by the name of the executable which should accept log entries on its standard input.

The server will start the piped-log process when the server starts, and will restart it if it crashes while the server is running. This last feature is why we can refer to this technique as "reliable piped logging".
