This is the place where Apache httpd + will send diagnostic information and record any errors that it + encounters in processing requests. It is the first place to + look when a problem occurs with starting the server or with the + operation of the server, since it will often contain details of + what went wrong and how to fix it.</p> + + <p>The error log is usually written to a file (typically + <code>error_log</code> on Unix systems and + <code>error.log</code> on Windows and OS/2). On Unix systems it + is also possible to have the server send errors to + <code>syslog</code> or <a href="#piped">pipe them to a + program</a>.</p> + + <p>The format of the error log is relatively free-form and + descriptive. But there is certain information that is contained + in most error log entries. For example, here is a typical + message.</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + [Wed Oct 11 14:32:52 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] + client denied by server configuration: + /export/home/live/ap/htdocs/test + </code></p></div> + + <p>The first item in the log entry is the date and time of the + message. The second item lists the severity of the error being + reported. The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#loglevel">LogLevel</a></code> + directive is used to control the types of errors that are sent + to the error log by restricting the severity level. The third + item gives the IP address of the client that generated the + error. Beyond that is the message itself, which in this case + indicates that the server has been configured to deny the + client access. The server reports the file-system path (as + opposed to the web path) of the requested document.</p> + + <p>A very wide variety of different messages can appear in the + error log. Most look similar to the example above. The error + log will also contain debugging output from CGI scripts. Any + information written to <code>stderr</code> by a CGI script will + be copied directly to the error log.</p> + + <p>It is not possible to customize the error log by adding or + removing information. However, error log entries dealing with + particular requests have corresponding entries in the <a href="#accesslog">access log</a>. For example, the above example + entry corresponds to an access log entry with status code 403. + Since it is possible to customize the access log, you can + obtain more information about error conditions using that log + file.</p> + + <p>During testing, it is often useful to continuously monitor + the error log for any problems. On Unix systems, you can + accomplish this using:</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + tail -f error_log + </code></p></div> + </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="accesslog" id="accesslog">Access Log</a></h2> + + + <table class="related"><tr><th>Related Modules</th><th>Related Directives</th></tr><tr><td><ul><li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html">mod_log_config</a></code></li><li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html">mod_setenvif</a></code></li></ul></td><td><ul><li><code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#logformat">LogFormat</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code></li></ul></td></tr></table> + + <p>The server access log records all requests processed by the + server. The location and content of the access log are + controlled by the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> + directive. The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#logformat">LogFormat</a></code> + directive can be used to simplify the selection of + the contents of the logs. This section describes how to configure the server + to record information in the access log.</p> + + <p>Of course, storing the information in the access log is only + the start of log management. The next step is to analyze this + information to produce useful statistics. Log analysis in + general is beyond the scope of this document, and not really + part of the job of the web server itself. For more information + about this topic, and for applications which perform log + analysis, check the <a href="http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Internet/Site_Management/Log_analysis/"> + Open Directory</a> or <a href="http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Software/Internet/World_Wide_Web/Servers/Log_Analysis_Tools/"> + Yahoo</a>.</p> + + <p>Various versions of Apache httpd have used other modules and + directives to control access logging, including + mod_log_referer, mod_log_agent, and the + <code>TransferLog</code> directive. The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> directive now subsumes + the functionality of all the older directives.</p> + + <p>The format of the access log is highly configurable. The format + is specified using a format string that looks much like a C-style + printf(1) format string. Some examples are presented in the next + sections. For a complete list of the possible contents of the + format string, see the <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html">mod_log_config</a></code> <a href="mod/mod_log_config.html#formats">format strings</a>.</p> + + <h3><a name="common" id="common">Common Log Format</a></h3> + + + <p>A typical configuration for the access log might look as + follows.</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common<br /> + CustomLog logs/access_log common + </code></p></div> + + <p>This defines the <em>nickname</em> <code>common</code> and + associates it with a particular log format string. The format + string consists of percent directives, each of which tell the + server to log a particular piece of information. Literal + characters may also be placed in the format string and will be + copied directly into the log output. The quote character + (<code>"</code>) must be escaped by placing a backslash before + it to prevent it from being interpreted as the end of the + format string. The format string may also contain the special + control characters "<code>\n</code>" for new-line and + "<code>\t</code>" for tab.</p> + + <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> + directive sets up a new log file using the defined + <em>nickname</em>. The filename for the access log is relative to + the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code> unless it + begins with a slash.</p> + + <p>The above configuration will write log entries in a format + known as the Common Log Format (CLF). This standard format can + be produced by many different web servers and read by many log + analysis programs. The log file entries produced in CLF will + look something like this:</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + 127.0.0.1 - frank [10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 -0700] "GET + /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 2326 + </code></p></div> + + <p>Each part of this log entry is described below.</p> + + <dl> + <dt><code>127.0.0.1</code> (<code>%h</code>)</dt> + + <dd>This is the IP address of the client (remote host) which + made the request to the server. If <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#hostnamelookups">HostnameLookups</a></code> is + set to <code>On</code>, then the server will try to determine + the hostname and log it in place of the IP address. However, + this configuration is not recommended since it can + significantly slow the server. Instead, it is best to use a + log post-processor such as <code class="program"><a href="./programs/logresolve.html">logresolve</a></code> to determine + the hostnames.

Second, the client requested the resource + <code>/apache_pb.gif</code>, and third, the client used the + protocol <code>HTTP/1.0</code>. It is also possible to log + one or more parts of the request line independently.

It can be used as follows.</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" + \"%{User-agent}i\"" combined<br /> + CustomLog log/access_log combined + </code></p></div> + + <p>This format is exactly the same as the Common Log Format, + with the addition of two more fields. Each of the additional + fields uses the percent-directive + <code>%{<em>header</em>}i</code>, where <em>header</em> can be + any HTTP request header. The access log under this format will + look like:</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + 127.0.0.1 - frank [10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 -0700] "GET + /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 2326 + "http://www.example.com/start.html" "Mozilla/4.08 [en] + (Win98; I ;Nav)" + </code></p></div> + + <p>The additional fields are:</p> + + <dl> + <dt><code>"http://www.example.com/start.html"</code> + (<code>\"%{Referer}i\"</code>)</dt> + + <dd>The "Referer" (sic) HTTP request header. This gives the + site that the client reports having been referred from. (This + should be the page that links to or includes + <code>/apache_pb.gif</code>).</dd> + + <dt><code>"Mozilla/4.08 [en] (Win98; I ;Nav)"</code> + (<code>\"%{User-agent}i\"</code>)</dt> + + <dd>The User-Agent HTTP request header. This is the + identifying information that the client browser reports about + itself.</dd> + </dl> + + + <h3><a name="multiple" id="multiple">Multiple Access Logs</a></h3> + + + <p>Multiple access logs can be created simply by specifying + multiple <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> + directives in the configuration + file. 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. The last two <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> lines show how + to mimic the effects of the <code>ReferLog</code> and <code>AgentLog</code> directives.</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common<br /> + CustomLog logs/access_log common<br /> + CustomLog logs/referer_log "%{Referer}i -> %U"<br /> + CustomLog logs/agent_log "%{User-agent}i" + </code></p></div> + + <p>This example also shows that it is not necessary to define a + nickname with the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#logformat">LogFormat</a></code> directive. Instead, + the log format can be specified directly in the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> directive.</p> + + + <h3><a name="conditional" id="conditional">Conditional Logs</a></h3> + + + <p>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 <a href="env.html">environment variables</a>. First, an + environment variable must be set to indicate that the request + meets certain conditions. This is usually accomplished with + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code>. Then the + <code>env=</code> clause of the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> directive is used to + include or exclude requests where the environment variable is + set. Some examples:</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + # Mark requests from the loop-back interface<br /> + SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "127\.0\.0\.1" dontlog<br /> + # Mark requests for the robots.txt file<br /> + SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/robots\.txt$" dontlog<br /> + # Log what remains<br /> + CustomLog logs/access_log common env=!dontlog + </code></p></div> + + <p>As another example, consider logging requests from + english-speakers to one log file, and non-english speakers to a + different log file.</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + SetEnvIf Accept-Language "en" english<br /> + CustomLog logs/english_log common env=english<br /> + CustomLog logs/non_english_log common env=!english + </code></p></div> + + <p>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.</p> + + </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="rotation" id="rotation">Log Rotation</a></h2> + + + <p>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 10,000 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 will continue + writing to the old log file as long as it holds the file open. + Instead, the server must be <a href="stopping.html">restarted</a> after the log files are + moved or deleted so that it will open new log files.</p> + + <p>By using a <em>graceful</em> 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:</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + mv access_log access_log.old<br /> + mv error_log error_log.old<br /> + apachectl graceful<br /> + sleep 600<br /> + gzip access_log.old error_log.old + </code></p></div> + + <p>Another way to perform log rotation is using <a href="#piped">piped logs</a> as discussed in the next + section.</p> + </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="piped" id="piped">Piped Logs</a></h2> + + + <p>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 "<code>|</code>", followed by the name + of the executable which should accept log entries on its + standard input. Apache 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".)</p> + + <p>Piped log processes are spawned by the parent Apache httpd + process, and inherit the userid of that process. This means + that piped log programs usually run as root. It is therefore + very important to keep the programs simple and secure.</p> + + <p>One important use of piped logs is to allow log rotation + without having to restart the server. The Apache HTTP Server + includes a simple program called <code class="program"><a href="./programs/rotatelogs.html">rotatelogs</a></code> + for this purpose. For example, to rotate the logs every 24 hours, you + can use:</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + CustomLog "|/usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs + /var/log/access_log 86400" common + </code></p></div> + + <p>Notice that quotes are used to enclose the entire command + that will be called for the pipe. Although these examples are + for the access log, the same technique can be used for the + error log.</p> + + <p>A similar but much more flexible log rotation program + called <a href="http://www.cronolog.org/">cronolog</a> + is available at an external site.</p> + + <p>As with conditional logging, piped logs are a very powerful + tool, but they should not be used where a simpler solution like + off-line post-processing is available.</p> + </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="virtualhost" id="virtualhost">Virtual Hosts</a></h2> + + + <p>When running a server with many <a href="vhosts/">virtual + hosts</a>, there are several options for dealing with log + files. First, it is possible to use logs exactly as in a + single-host server. Simply by placing the logging directives + outside the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> sections in the + main server context, it is possible to log all requests in the + same access log and error log. This technique does not allow + for easy collection of statistics on individual virtual + hosts.</p> + + <p>If <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> + or <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#errorlog">ErrorLog</a></code> + directives are placed inside a + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> + section, all requests or errors for that virtual host will be + logged only to the specified file. Any virtual host which does + not have logging directives will still have its requests sent + to the main server logs. This technique is very useful for a + small number of virtual hosts, but if the number of hosts is + very large, it can be complicated to manage. In addition, it + can often create problems with <a href="vhosts/fd-limits.html">insufficient file + descriptors</a>.</p> + + <p>For the access log, there is a very good compromise. By + adding information on the virtual host to the log format + string, it is possible to log all hosts to the same log, and + later split the log into individual files. For example, + consider the following directives.</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + LogFormat "%v %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" + comonvhost<br /> + CustomLog logs/access_log comonvhost + </code></p></div> + + <p>The <code>%v</code> is used to log the name of the virtual + host that is serving the request.
