[users@httpd] ErrorLog Module Option Request

[Ju...@Frontier.com]

Since the RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel directives have been eliminated I 
would like to propose an optional module parameter be added to the ErrorLog 
directive to specify a specific module.  Similar to the LogLevel directive.

   Current Syntax: ErrorLog file-path|syslog[:facility]
Proposed Syntax: ErrorLog [module:]file-path|syslog[:facility]

So maybe could do something like this:
ErrorLog rewrite:"logs/rewrite_log"
LogLevel rewrite:trace1


Need rewrite logging for normal operation, but don't want it cluttering the 
error logs.
Rewrites are a part of normal operation, not errors.  Using the error logs 
creates clutter making it more difficult to work with the error logs.

The following statement in the ErrorLog Directive documentation gave me hope 
that specifying a module:file-path instead of syslog:facility would work. 
But it did not.
"ErrorLog syslog:user"
"Additional modules can provide their own ErrorLog providers. The syntax is 
similar to the syslog example above."

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#errorlog
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#loglevel

Thanks for your time and attention.  Hope a solution for keeping the rewrite 
logging isolated from the error logging can be provided.

Re: piped logging; Oh goody more processes running as root.

Rewriting is a part of normal running operations and as such non error 
logging of rewrites should be facilitated.

Really missing the RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel directives.

The RewriteLog was never intended for normal operation.  IMO It's
unlikely your requirement will be implemented (even if you added it to
bugzilla).

 It should be straightforward to handle in a simple piped logged, though.
