[users@httpd] Ignoring certain IPs from logs
'Morning, all.
Anyone know of a way, if possible, to set Apache up to NOT LOG certain
IPs? I've looked at LogFormat, and it doesn't look like that's the
key. I'm playing around with some different webstat log parsers, and I
would like to ignore internal IPs so I can account for bandwidth
properly?
Thanks

That's how i have it on my httpd.conf and it works :) (i changed the real
Ips for obvious reasons). Remember to put Ips inside "" and use \ and . to
separate IP parts ...
----------------------
SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "255\.255\.255\.255" dontlog
SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "8\.255\.255\.255" dontlog
SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "255\.213\.255\.255" dontlog
CustomLog logs/access.log common env=!dontlog

Alright, so I've got two options here. Thanks, both of you. I've never
used SetEnvIf before, I'll have to play with it.
Thanks

Generally you pre-process your log before passing it to your
analyzer. grep -v, for example, will ignore lines in a file.
It wouldn't be a good idea to filter logging within Apache
because complicated enough filtering could affect performance,
and more importantly you might later want the data that you're
filtering out. Log everything, then use tools to pull out the
information you want to look at.
