Additional log file

["Wall, Mick" <Mi...@LloydsTSB.co.uk>]

Hello, 
 
I have a requirement to log some additional information to a separate log
file.  Can I do this using some of the existing log API's or will I need to
create my own.
 
Thanks
 
Mick

If you have that data in env variables, in the notes table or similar  
(or you can get them there from your modules, mod_perl code) etc-   
then you can simple add a custom log and write it out that way:

	LogFormat "%a %s %t \"%{User-agent}i\"" %{GeoIP}n %{GeoIP_USfield}n % 
{GeoIP_SpeedField}n

will extrat the note called 'GeoIP' from the r->notes table which was  
set by a module. If it comes from some java/backend - you can capture  
a header %{Foo}o header (but the client gets to see that header too).

If you can push the data into an environment variable (subprocess_env)
or a note, you can just use an additional LogFormat/CustomLog to
collect the data.
