DESCRIPTION
This module replicates the functionality of the standard Apache
module, mod_log_config, but logs information in a DBI-compliant
database instead of a file.
LIST OF TOKENS
DBILogConfig_data_source
A DBI data source with a format of "DBI::driver:database"
DBILogConfig_username
Username passed to the database driver when connecting
DBILogConfig_password
Password passed to the database driver when connecting
DBILogConfig_table
Table in the database for logging
DBILogConfig_log_format
A string consisting of formats seperated by white space that
define the data to be looged (see FORMATS below)
FORMATS
A format consists of a string with the following syntax:
%[conditions][{parameter}]format=field
format
Formats specify the type of data to be logged. The following
formats are accepted:
b Bytes sent
f Filename
e Environment variable (specified by parameter)
h Remote host
a Remote IP Address
i Header in the client request (specified by parameter)
l Remote log name (from identd)
n Contents of a note from another module (specified by parameter)
o Header from the reply (specified by parameter)
p Server port
P Apache child PID
r First line of the request
s Request status
t Time in common log format (default) or strftime() (parameter)
T Time taken to serve request
u Remote user from auth
U URL
v Server hostname
field
A database column to log the data to
parameter
For formats that take a parameter
Example: %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}e
conditions
Conditions are a comma-seperated list of status codes. If the
status of the request being logged equals one of the status
codes in the condition the data specified by the format will be
logged. By placing a '!' in front of the conditions, data will
be logged if the request status does not match any of the
conditions.
Example: %!200,304,302s=status will log the status of all
requests that did not return some sort of normal status
DEBUGGING
Debugging statements will be written to the error log if
LOGLEVEL is set to 'warn' or higher
