Re: Logging Base64 decoded info in access_log

["Jignesh Badani" <jbadani@xxxxxxxx>]

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.

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.

Good luck with the management,

Pete
