I'm running a couple Apache web servers that each have 4-8 separate virtual hosts on each of them. I'm trying to setup a dedicated log server that stores each virtual host access and errors logs in a separate directory for that virtual host.
For example on the logging server,
/var/log/remove/10.0.0.2/virtualhost1 contains access_log and error_log
/var/log/remove/10.0.0.2/virtualhost2 contains access_log and error_log
/var/log/remove/10.0.0.3/virtualhost3 contains access_log and error_log
and so on...
Right now I have it split up by host but I can't figure out how to do it additionally by virtual host. Here are the relevant lines from the logging server's syslog-ng.conf
source r_src { tcp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(5140)); };
destination r_all { file("/opt/splunk/logs/$HOST"); };
log { source(r_src); destination(r_all); };
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
