Customized Module For Logging In Transfer Log

[Saurabh Goyal <Sa...@citysearch.com>]

Hi,

I am new to apche and mod_perl. I am trying to write apache module to write
some additional parameters to transfer log (access.log). Is anybody have an
idea, how can we write additional stuff to access.log including the
defaults. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Check out mod_log_config, one of the standard modules that comes with Apache.
Chances are, you are already using this module and just need to add create
the appropriate CustomLog directive.

http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_log_config.html

If you are looking to log something that is not defined by mod_log_config,
can put it into the r->notes table and access if via the "%{NoteName}n"
option.

You might look into Apache::DBILogger and subclass it more use it for
a template to begin with.

Like what?

The custom log format is very flexible...
