NAME
   Apache::DBILogConfig - Logs access information in a DBI database

SYNOPSIS
    # In httpd.conf
    PerlLogHandler Apache::DBILogConfig
    PerlSetVar DBILogConfig_data_source DBI:Informix:log_data
    PerlSetVar DBILogConfig_username    informix
    PerlSetVar DBILogConfig_password    informix
    PerlSetVar DBILogConfig_table       mysite_log
    PerlSetVar DBILogConfig_log_format  "%b=bytes_sent %f=filename %h=remote_host %r=request %s=status"

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. (Some documentation has been borrowed from the mod_log_config
   documentation.)

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 separated by white space that define
       the data to be logged (see FORMAT STRING below)

FORMAT STRING
   A format string 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:

   a Remote IP-address
   A Local IP-address (not yet supported)
   B Bytes sent, excluding HTTP headers.
   b Bytes sent, excluding HTTP headers. In CLF format i.e. a '-' rather
   than a 0 when no bytes are sent.
   c Connection status when response is completed. 'X' = connection aborted
   before the response completed. '+' = connection may be kept alive after
   the response is sent. '-' = connection will be closed after the response
   is sent. (not yet supported)
   e The contents of the environment variable specified by parameter
   f Filename
   h Remote host
   H The request protocol
   i The contents of the header (specified by parameter) in the request
   sent to the server.
   l Remote logname (from identd, if supplied)
   m The request method
   n The contents of note (specified by parameter) from another module.
   o The contents of the header (specified by parameter) in the reply.
   p The canonical Port of the server serving the request
   P The process ID of the child that serviced the request.
   q The query string (prepended with a ? if a query string exists,
   otherwise an empty string)
   r First line of request
   s Status. For requests that got internally redirected, this is the
   status of the *original* request.
   t Time, in common log format time format or the format specified by
   parameter, which should be in strftime(3) format.
   T The time taken to serve the request, in seconds.
   u Remote user (from auth; may be bogus if return status (%s) is 401)
   U The URL path requested.
   v The canonical ServerName of the server serving the request.
   V The server name according to the UseCanonicalName setting (not yet
   supported).
 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-separated 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

PREREQUISITES
   * mod_perl >= 1.11_01 with PerlLogHandler enabled
   * DBI
   * Date::Format
INSTALLATION
   To install this module, move into the directory where this file is
   located and type the following:

           perl Makefile.PL
           make
           make test
           make install

   This will install the module into the Perl library directory.

   Once installed, you will need to modify your web server's configuration
   as above.

NOTE
   After installing and configuring this module, Apache will continue to
   log to your regular access log file (if it was previously configured
   that way). To log accesses only to your database comment out CustomLog
   or TransferLog or set them to /dev/null.
