 |
|
Hi guys, great forum! 
Is there a way to monitor .htaccess logins on Apache 2.0.59? The information I would need to know is arrival timestamp, ip and the used username.
Thanks in advance. |

The normal access.log logs the infos you need
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
CustomLog logs/access.log common
makes
192.168.1.21 - Username [08/Dec/2006:22:39:25 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 2493 |

Thanks for that info too, Brian.
Hmm, not sure what sort of format I should use. I only need:
192.168.1.21 Username [08/Dec/2006:22:39:25 +0100]
So I tried:
LogFormat "%h %u %t" common
But still got GET, HTTP etc. How can I get rid of the extra data to get clean log? I took a look at the Module mod_log_config documentation with no luck. |

Ensure that your LogFormat directive comes just before the CustomLog directive in httpd.conf.
If there is another LogFormat directive which defines the log format common prior to the CustomLog directive, then it will take precedence over your LogFormat directive.
Another method you might consider is to put a second CustomLog directive in httpd.conf to create your own log - separate from the regular access.log file.
| Code: | | CustomLog logs/short_access.log "%h %u %t" |
This second CustomLog will create a second log file named short_access.log. This file will be in addition to the regular access.log file.
Note that you do not need to touch the original LogFormat directive in this case because the definition of your short format is contained within your CustomLog directive.
