Clustered apache logging
|
|

| I have a large number of websites that are mounted over nfs.
Everything works, apart from the logging.
I would like to be able to get real time (or near real time) access
logging.
Since multiple apache instances cannot write to the same log file, I
have the following options:
1. vlogger
Write to individual log files then combine them all later.
Very low number of open files
2. syslog-ng
Log over a tcp syslog-ng connection to a central host
3. Something else?
Number 2 seems the best way. Can anyone offer any more suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance.

| Thanks for this.
Unfortunately the log files need to stay in text format for this.

I'm curious why syslog-ng is fine but not the database solution. Sure,
syslog-ng dumps to a text file, but you could do the same with a
database solution using a script. Since syslog-ng isn't going to
create normal Apache log files you still will need to do some kind of
file massasing I think.
Just curious..
