Re: Custom Log files Under MP2
Specifically, I'd like to log certain image file requests (all files with .jpg, .gif, and .png extensions) to a custom log, image_log, logging IP, file, time, status, bytes, referer, cookies, etc. I care about speed here. Would you suggest a native logging http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters/ch16.pdf or take this route http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#PerlLogHandler If the former, would you have any sample config code to illustrate?

I think the conditional logging recipe is pretty descriptive. see also the CustomLog directive description in the apache documentation http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/directives.html FilesMatch might also help. --Geoff Thanks! -TO --- Geoffrey Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tofu Optimist wrote: I would like to append a small line of log information to a file on certain apache2 requests.

For this application, I am very concerned about speed, so i'm looking for fast simple solutions. I could stuff the information in the error log as per http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Log.html, and parse it out later off-line, but I'd prefer to reserve the error log for errors. I could stuff the information in the access log, and likewise pull out the data later off-line: how might I get data to the access_log? The most natural place to append the information would be a dedicated file. I've never written to a file from mod_perl, and don't know the correct idiom (flock? etc?) to do so. I'd appreciate any pointers to recipes, modules, etc. to show me the correct (fast, reliable) way to append to a file under MP2. You may want to spend some time with the mp2 docs first. http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/ Your particular question is answered at these locations: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#PerlLogHandler http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/server.html#Startup_Phases_Demonstration_Module As for flocking, I prefer to do that, even though there are claims that short writes are atomic. It's probably not the same on all io implementations. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
