I'd like to update my apache logging so that its destination is based on the user agent string or file type.

Specifically, I would like to send my googlebot requests to their own log file, and I would like to not log requests for any of my image files.

My configuration is pretty much stock.

Try adding something like the following into your VirtualHost config:

SetEnvIf User-agent .*Googlebot.* googlebot
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_googlebot.log combined env=googlebot
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined env=!googlebot

  • In reference to the reply by Ewan, When you refer to VirtualHost config would that be the apache2.conf, the httpd.conf, or other file? – user10891 Oct 17 '11 at 6:04
