Error Log Apache 2.2
the requests made to the server Status:Base Module Identifier:log_config_module Source File:mod_log_config.c Summary 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. Three directives are provided by this module: TransferLog to create a log file, LogFormat to set a custom format, and CustomLog to define a log file and format in one step. The TransferLog and CustomLog directives can be used multiple times in each server to cause each request to be logged to multiple files. Topics Custom Log Formats Security Considerations Directives BufferedLogs CustomLog GlobalLog LogFormat TransferLog Bugfix checklisthttpd changelogKnown issuesReport a bugSee also Apache Log Files Comments Custom Log Formats The format argument to the LogFormat and CustomLog 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. 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: FormatString Description %% The percent sign. %a Client IP address of the request (see the mod_remoteip module). %{c}a Underlying peer IP address of the co

access/error log to https://www.loggly.com/ultimate-guide/apache-logging-basics/ syslog15-12-2013 | Remy van Elst Table of ContentsThis snippet shows you how to redirect the Apache access log error log to syslog using the Customlog statement, and the Error log to syslog via the ErrorLog statement. Using the double pipe prevents spawning a error log apache shell for every hit. Append the below line to a vhost to have everything logged to syslog. CustomLog "||/usr/bin/logger -t apache -i -p local5.notice" combine The error log can be appended to syslog using the following statement: ErrorLog syslog:local6 More info on the Errorlog: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#errorlog More info on the Customlog module: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/modlogconfig.html#customlog Tags: acces-log, apache, error-log, log, logging, syslog, Generated by ingsoc | Cluster Status | About
Basics Access and Error Logs General Configuration Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint Configuration Redhat/Fedora/CentOS Configuration OpenSUSE Configuration Applicable Modules ↑ 0 Apache Logging Basics Log Files An Apache log is a record of the events that have occurred on your Apache web server. Apache stores two kinds of logs: Access Log Contains information about requests coming in to the web server. This information can include what pages people are viewing, the success status of requests, and how long the request took to respond. It looks something like this: Apache 10.185.248.71 - - [09/Jan/2015:19:12:06 +0000] 808840 "GET /inventoryService/inventory/purchaseItem?userId=20253471&itemId=23434300 HTTP/1.1" 500 17 "-" "Apache-HttpClient/4.2.6 (java 1.5)" 1 10.185.248.71 - - [09/Jan/2015:19:12:06 +0000] 808840 "GET /inventoryService/inventory/purchaseItem?userId=20253471&itemId=23434300 HTTP/1.1" 500 17 "-" "Apache-HttpClient/4.2.6 (java 1.5)" Error Log Contains information about errors that the web server encountered when processing requests, such as when files are missing. It looks something like this: [Thu Mar 13 19:04:13 2014] [error] [client 50.0.134.125] File does not exist: /var/www/favicon.ico 1 [Thu Mar 13 19:04:13 2014] [error] [client 50.0.134.125] File does not exist: /var/www/favicon.ico Location Access and error log files are stored on individual web servers. The exact location of your Apache logs depends on your operating system: Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint Redhat/Fedora/CentOS Configuration OpenSUSE The following general default logging configuration directives are specified in absence of specific virtual host container configuration. Log Level Directive This specifies log message severity. Default is “warn.” LogLevel warn Table of Level Severities Severity Description Example emerg Emergencies — system is unusable “Child cannot open lock file. Exiting” alert Immediate action required “getpwuid: couldn’t determine user name from uid” crit Critical conditions “socket: Failed to get a socket, exiting child” error Error conditions “Premature end of script headers” warn Warning conditions “child process 1234 did not exit, sending another SIGHUP” notice Normal but significant condition “httpd: caught SIGBUS, attempting to dump core in …” info Informational “Server seems busy…” debug Debug-level messages “opening config file …” trace1-8 Trace messages “proxy: FTP: … ” Note regarding a particular level: Levels are listed in order of desce
