custom logs
Hi,
I can't get custom logs to work, no file is created and no specific logs even if I force a syntax error in logs_xml.config with an unclosed comment "<!---" or "<logObject>". It does not seem to be a permission problem as I also tested with manually creating the log file. I also unsuccessfully tried with another xml config file using "proxy.config.log.xml_config_file" and stopping/restarting ATS.
I looked for that in the users' archives, I found just unanswered question
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/trafficserver-users/201309.mbox/%3C52443A39.7020101@ferminati.net%3E
Here is my configuration
ATS 4.1.2 and ATS 4.2.2 (08cd513)/ FreeBSD 10 amd64
==> records.config <==
CONFIG proxy.config.log.logging_enabled INT 3
CONFIG proxy.config.log.max_secs_per_buffer INT 5
CONFIG proxy.config.log.max_space_mb_for_logs INT 25000
CONFIG proxy.config.log.max_space_mb_for_orphan_logs INT 25
CONFIG proxy.config.log.max_space_mb_headroom INT 1000
CONFIG proxy.config.log.custom_logs_enabled INT 1
==> logs_xml.config <==
<LogFormat>
<Format = "%<chi> - - [%<cqtn>] \"%<cqhm> %<cquup>\" %<pssc> %<psql> \"%<{Referer}cqh>\" \"%<{User-Agent}cqh>\"" />
<Name = "httpd_combined" />
</LogFormat>
<LogObject>
<Format = "httpd_combined" />
<Filename = "access" />
<RollingEnabled = "1" />
<RollingOffsetHr = "23" />
<Mode = "ascii" />
</LogObject>
Thanks for any advice!
Regards,
Denis

No I don't use ethe default file, just a copy and I just tested once again, and after removing comment blocks one after one, I discovered "%>" in the middle of one of my comments for my own config. It causes the comment block to be closed. I added an opening comment tag just after it and it logs worked again!
So default filename works and overriding ones too.
Once again, I made a typo in my ATS config, sorry to afraid you all. It would be nice to have some log telling the xml file contains an error while ATS is parsing it at startup.

This is very strange. I use custom logs all the time, using the default logs_xml.config file. Are you positive it does not work with the default file (which you must edit, obviously) ?

XML comments work just fine; we use them.

Replying to myself, it works only when all these requirements are strictly met :
- overriding the value "proxy.config.log.xml_config_file" with another xml config filename instead of the default "logs_xml.config" (it does not work when forcing with this filename in recods.config)
- strictly fixing owner & write permissions for ATS user (www under FreeBSD) :
+ /var/log/trafficserver directory
- no syntax error in the xml config file and NO comments at all.
Just to mention that for this xml config file:
- comments are may cause an error but
- no logs are written when an error is encountered
Config tested for ATS 4.1.2 and ATS 4.2.2 with FreeBSD 10 amd64. I don't have any linux box.
