[users@httpd] Log File Name
Hi all -
I have a webfarm using a common httpd.conf for four machines connected
to a SAN. I would like to find a way to name the logfiles with the
hostname to identify what machine they came from.
I tried passing a shell variable like below;
CustomLog "| /usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd/$HOSTNAME.%Y%m%d
86400" combined
CustomLog "| /usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd/%V.%Y%m%d 86400"
combined
but it didn't work,. I get the literal not the variable.
The reason is I am using webtrends to for log analysis and they can't
have the same logfile name. When I upload them they are overwriting each
other because they have the same name.
Thanks for any help
Michael

Ae you using VHost sections? if so you will need to name each
individual log file the host name -- if not you are out of luck. I
dont know of another way to name them.

Consider cronolog http://freshmeat.net/projects/cronolog/
You may need a wrapper script to resolve the host. Something like this...
CustomLog "|/path/to/wrapper" combined
#!/bin/sh
# wrapper script
#
# Init and process any options here
#
exec /path/to/cronolog /var/log/httpd/`hostname`/%Y/%m/%d-access_log
