I inherited an Apache system that uses a custom log format that analyzers don't understand. Can Apache also output a second log in a standard format?
Thanks,
Michael |

Yes it can.
The LogFormat directive defines the details to be saved in a log file. The default parameter sets are called 'combined' and 'common', and are defined in the standard httpd.conf file. These formats should be accepted by most log file analyzers,
Additional LogFormat entry sets, such as 'custom', can be used to save alternative parameters in log files. Once defined, the CustomLog directive can be used to create log files based on a given format, e.g.
| Code: | CustomLog "logs/access.log" combined
# or
CustomLog "logs/access.log" common
|
So assuming you've got a 'custom' format at the moment, all you need to do is add another CustomLog directive specifying a new log file, with the 'combined' or 'common' format.
See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config.html for details. |

you can also not log specific files also.
<IfModule log_config_module>

# Don't log these files!

</IfModule>
Set the environmental variables above, then use them in your vhost section.
CustomLog "D:/logs/Apache/HTTPS/Secured.log" "combined" env=!dontlog
