Vlogger is a program that handles large amounts of virtualhost logs and splits it to separate files.
\nThis is a short HOWTO to configure it using Apache.<\/p>\n
Install vlogger in debian etch
\n# aptitude install vlogger
\nMake sure you have working Apache server<\/p>\n
Configuring vlogger
\nChange the LogFormat line (there are multiple LogFormat lines \u2013 in this example we will change the one that is named combined) in \/etc\/apache2\/apache2.conf. We must add the string %v at the beginning of it<\/p>\n
vi \/etc\/apache2\/apache2.conf<\/p>\n
#LogFormat \u201c%h %l %u %t \\\u201d%r\\\u201d %>s %b \\\u201d%{Referer}i\\\u201d \\\u201d%{User-Agent}i\\\u201d” combined
\nLogFormat \u201c%v %h %l %u %t \\\u201d%r\\\u201d %>s %b \\\u201d%{Referer}i\\\u201d \\\u201d%{User-Agent}i\\\u201d” combined
\nAdd the following CustomLog line to the same file (you can put it directly after the LogFormat line)<\/p>\n
vi \/etc\/apache2\/apache2.conf<\/p>\n
CustomLog \u201c| \/usr\/sbin\/vlogger -s access.log \/var\/log\/apache2? combined
\nNOTE
\nWe only need one CustomLog directive in our whole Apache configuration. Please disable all other CustomLog directives, especially in your virtual host configurations.<\/p>\n
Restart apache<\/p>\n
# \/etc\/init.d\/apache2 restart
\nVlogger will now create subdirectories in the \/var\/log\/apache2 directory, one per virtual host, and create access logs that contain the current date in the file name. It will also create a symlink called access.log that points to the current log file.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s assume we have two virtual hosts, www.example1.com and www.example2.com. Then this is how the \/var\/log\/apache2 directory will look like:<\/p>\n
# ls \/var\/log\/apache2\/<\/p>\n
www.example1.com\/
\n09022008-access.log
\n09012008-access.log
\naccess.log -> 09022008-access.log
\nwww.example2.com\/
\n09022008-access.log
\n09012008-access.log
\naccess.log -> 09022008-access.log<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
