Can you explain what would be the point ?
Presumably, if clients access your site, you already know the name of
the site, no ?
Or maybe you want to look at this page :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html
and lookup the "CustomLog" and "LogFormat" directives.

Yes, that's correct. LogWatch is what I'm referring to. It's an
aggregation of HTTPD logs and other server logs which is emailed to me
daily.

Logwatch is a Linux/Unix utility that reports on whatever logs it is
requested to report. Here is the description from the MAN file.
"
LogWatch is a customizable, pluggable log-monitoring system. It will go
through your logs for a given period of time and make a report in
the areas that you wish with the detail that you wish. Easy to use -

Normally HTTPD logs are reported along with any other system logs. Here
is a sample of this morning's (remarkably small!) report for my server.
Most mornings this report is several hundred lines long; mostly hackers.

This won't work. The "referer" is the name of the system the request
comes *from*, not the host who serves it.
As Lukreme mentions, you can have (and probably the OP has) different
logfiles for each website, with Virtual Hosts.
But I believe the OP's issue is different. The "logwatch" he's talking
about is probably some utility which monitors several logfiles at once.
But let him explain.

You do this by specifying the logfile name and format in the the VirtualHost directives.

Maybe you want to explain what you mean by "logwatch" then ?
If this is a separate program from the Apache httpd suite, do not assume
anyone here knows what you are talking about.
As indicated below, you can change the format of the CustomLog to
include pretty much anything you want. Did you actually go look at
these pages ?

I manage about 20 websites. So I need to see which ones are reporting
which things. I've checked the custom log in the past, it didn't do
what I wanted, but perhaps I didn't understand what I was doing--which
is quite likely.
