[users@httpd] Apache logging

["Leeuwen, Allan van" <al...@orangemail.nl>]

Hi all ...
 
I'm new on the list so I hope this is the right place for these
questions ...
I'm running apache v2 on Windows 2000 and have a question about logging
/ bandwidth usage.
I'd like to know if there is a way to find out which file users are
'currently' downloading ... it only seems to be possible to find this
out once they are finished with the file as it needs to log the 'total
bytes transferred'. However, I'm running several sites so when I see a
bandwidth peek I'm always wondering which site is doing this exactly
(and which file). Sometimes these downloads are over 1gb in size so it
takes really long before I can find out.
Also, I'd like to know if there is any way to limit the number of
threads a single IP address is allowed to open simultaneously ... I only
have a 1mbit line so people downloading a 1gb file with a download
accellerator set to 8 threads really cause problems for my other users.
Thanks for any help in advance,
 
Allan

See the module mod_status and the server-status handler which can show
you some information regarding current connections.

Not in the base server, but there are several modules at
http://modules.apache.org/ that do stuff like this.  I don't have
personal experience with any of them.  Most decent firewalls will also
allow you to put restrictions like this in place at the network level.
