DESCRIPTION

This mod_perl log handler can be used to ignore connections which match the criteria.

USING

Use the following settings in your apache config file.

IgnoreHost 192.168.0.1: This option disables the logging of requests from the specified host.

IgnoreAgent MSIE: This option disables the logging of requests with a specified browser. The matching is not exact, the provided keyword is used to match within the browser signature.

IgnoreReferer 192.168.0.2: This option disables the logging of requests referred by the specified host/pageowser. The matching is not exact, the provided keyword is used to match within the referrer. Some browsers (like Konqueror and Mozilla) don't send a referrer.

IgnoreFrom foo@bar.com: This option disables the logging of requests which send the specified E-Mail address as part of the From tag in the HTTP header.

IgnoreMinSize 100: This option disables the logging of requests which size is below a number of bytes.

IgnoreMaxSize 400000: This option disables the logging of requests which size is above a number of bytes.

IgnoreType Image: This option disables the logging of requests for certain mime types. The matching is not exact, the provided keyword is used to match within the mime type.

IgnoreStatus 403: This option disables the logging of requests resulting in a certain status code.

DebugFlag 1: Set this to true to get debug information in your error log.

Negating

You can negate all of the above values with a ! (except DebugFlag).

Example would be :

IgnoreStatus !200

Don't log any request beside the ones resulting in a 200 status.

EXPORT

None by default.
