Re: Yet another Apache log question

[barrd]

Hi CHRYst,

Apache::ParseLog::getCustomLog: combined does not exist...

Did you put in a full path to the 'combined' log? i.e. something along the lines of:

$log = $base->getCustomLog('/var/log/apache/combined');

That, I think could be the problem...?

[CHRYSt]

Unfortunately not.

The getCustomLog("value") requires the nickname of the log. It appears that it parses the apache conf file, and determines the log path based on the CustomLog directive that states "combined" as it's nickname.

[barrd]

Aah... pooh ;)

OK, could you post the CustomLog directive line from your conf file so we can have a look?

[CHRYSt]

Sure.

The logging directives are:

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
CustomLog /var/www/intra-access_log combined env=!image

The current incarnation of the script I'm using. This is taken directly from the documentation, and though it's not the data I'm looking for, at this point I'd just like to at least get it to parse the log:


#!/usr/local/bin/perl
    $|++;
    use Apache::ParseLog;                                             
+                                   
    $conf = "/path/to/httpd.conf";
    $base = new Apache::ParseLog($conf);                              
+                                                  
    $log = $base->getCustomLog("combined");
    %user = $log->user();
    print "Users Report\n";
    foreach (sort keys %user) {
        print "$_:\t$user{$_}\n" unless m/^-$/;
    }                                                                 
+               
    exit;
