Hi all –

 

I have a webfarm using a common httpd.conf for four machines connected to a SAN. I would like to find a way to name the logfiles with the hostname to identify what machine they came from.

 

I tried passing a shell variable like below;

CustomLog    "| /usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd/$HOSTNAME.%Y%m%d 86400" combined

 

CustomLog    "| /usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd/%V.%Y%m%d 86400" combined

 

but it didn’t work,. I get the literal not the variable.

 

The reason is I am using webtrends to for log analysis and they can’t have the same logfile name. When I upload them they are overwriting each other because they have the same name.

 

Thanks for any help

 

Michael
