Logging server for Apache v2
- Thread starter svanlith
- Start date
Yeah, you can mount /var to a different disk.
For example, setup your logging server. Then setup NFS on the logging server and export a directory to be used as the location for your log files.
Now on the machine running apache, you create a mount point for the logging server... say, /mnt/logsvr... then you make a symbolic link from /var/log/apache to /mnt/logsvr.
Now all of your logs for apache will be written to the mount point, which takes them to the logging server.
I don't know if that constitutes what you described as "no scripting".

Thnx,
it isn't exactly what I was looking for but it is indeed a solution to my problem.
The term "no scripting" was more a guideline in the means of...."is there a logging property in httpd.conf that can point to a LogServer or such"
Something like Log4j and Lumbermill.
