I'm using a pipe for my error log like this: ErrorLog "|/web/etc/log_error_pipe.pl"Is there any way of passing information to the pipe other than the log entry? Specifically I'd like to pass the HTTP_HOST value to it...
I came up with a pretty sick solution. I set the ErrorLog to log to syslog rather than a pipe.
Using syslog gives the error log one extra piece of useful information which is the pid of the apache child. It also contains the client IP and time.
So I set the CustomLog to log to a pipe, and updated the LogFormat to include the pid, start time and end time.
So if the error log entry has a time inbetween the start/end time of the access log entry, and it shares the same client ip and pid, then I can link it to a particular access log entry.
I have a script tailing the syslog file gathering error log information, and listening on a udp port for the CustomLog pipe process to send packets containing pid/ip/start_time/end_time/HTTP_HOST
