Send Apache Access Logs to syslog
- by Seer
We have IBM HTTP Servers (Based on Apache 2.0) and want to send the access logs to syslog. (in addition to error logs which does work)
The config we are using is as follows:
ErrorLog "|/HTTPServer/bin/rotatelogs /archive/http/error_log.%Y%m%d 86400 | /usr/bin/logger -t httpd -plocal6.err"
LogLevel warn
LogFormat "%h %{True-Client-IP}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %D \"%{Host}i\" %v" combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
CustomLog "|exec /usr/bin/logger -t ptseelm-ax3004 -i -p local6.notice" combined
But the logs entries don't even appear in the local syslog.out
here is what the processes look like:
ps -ef | grep httpd
apache 6226000 8388618 0 09:04:01 - 0:00 /HTTPServer/bin/httpd -d /HTTPServer -k start
apache 6750220 8388618 0 09:04:01 - 0:00 /HTTPServer/bin/httpd -d /HTTPServer -k start
apache 7602390 8388618 0 09:04:01 - 0:00 /HTTPServer/bin/httpd -d /HTTPServer -k start
root 8388618 1 0 09:04:01 - 0:00 /HTTPServer/bin/httpd -d /HTTPServer -k start
root 9044038 8388618 0 09:04:01 - 0:00 /usr/bin/logger -t httpd -plocal6.err
So there is no logger attached to the child processes... is that the problem? Can someone help me out? :)
We have the following in syslog.conf:
local6.* @somerealipaddress
