Thanks Pete, yes, post processing the log file nightly is the option I was considering. I am doing it currently on a per request basis. But I was hoping to avoid it if I could do it in real time by calling on B64 decode on the cookie.
Piped logs is an option I did not consider even though I am currently using it for logs rotation. Can you suggest how I can achieve what you are proposing w/o loosing out on the log rotation functionality. I have the following in my httpd config: ------- CustomLog "|/opt/apache/bin/rotatelogs /opt/apache/logs/access_log 86400" combined env=!dontlog #where dontlog are a couple of load balancers IP address I want to keep out of the access logs. ----------- regards -Jigs From: Pete Houston <p...@openstrike.co.uk> To: users@httpd.apache.org, Date: 07/26/2013 12:47 AM Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Logging Base64 decoded info in access_log Hi Jigs, Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just post-process the logs? Alternatively if you need this done in real-time for some reason you can use piped logs and process them in-line that way.
