I'm running Apache 1.25 on a SPARC, and am wondering if there is a
simple way to cotrol what file-types get written out to the log files?
My reason for asking is that a typical page on our site has anywhere
form 10-20 .GIF or .JPG images (all very small, but numerous
nonetheless). As such, every page hit generates form 10-20 or so lines
in the log file, and I'm somewhat alarmed at the rate at which I'm
having to delete the log files. No problem with a cron script, but...

Is there any way to tell Apache to log only the .HTML files? Taht's
all I'm really interested in keeping track of anyway?

Thnks in advance...

Take a look at mod_log_config. This module allows you
to customize the format of the log-file. It allows also to
pipe the log file through a pipe. So you are able to use grep/perl
to filter the data you want or not.

Cheers,
Andreas
