[users@httpd] Remote Logging access_log with syslog-ng

[Jan van den Berg]

Hi,   (please ignore my last post)   Right now I have a syslog-ng server that logs all access_log files from different virtual hosts in one big file. But Im looking for a way to log accesslogs to  virtualhostname.log files instead of one big file.   My setup:   CustomLog "| /usr/bin/logger -p local7.info" combined   This opens one Logger thread under the Apache main thread and puts all the logger information in one big file.   The following setup does what I want; but this opens a bash thread under Apache.. not something you want.   LogFormat "logger -t %v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined2 CustomLog "|/bin/bash" combined2   With the following in syslog-ng.conf: destination localhost_site_access{ file("/var/log/apache/$PROGRAM"); };   This works in a sense that it puts the different VirtualHost logs in logs with their name. This is what I want but I don’t want to use the ‘bash’ solution. Maybe it’s possible to hack /usr/bin/logger: I need a way to specify a $PROGRAM name in syslog-NG. Or is their another solution?   Any tips?   Regards, Jan
