Access Log Question

[Scott Purcell <sp...@vertisinc.com>]

Hello,

 

When configuring my Tomcat 5.5, I have added a "context" element to my
server.xml for a certain site. Within that tag, I added logging for an
access log.

 

The access log rolls each day and shows the IP from user and the page,
image, link he is accessing along with a http status code.

So it appears this all works well.

 

I would like to add the "user-agent" tag to this access log.

 

Does anyone have an example of how this is done, or a link of how to
accomplish this?

 

Thanks,

For example by setting pattern="combined" on the AccessLogValve you are using. 
You could also fine-tune the pattern to suit your needs:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/valve.html

BTW: As of Tomcat 5 it is recommended not to put context configurations into 
server.xml but to use the standalon XML files in 
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
