Logging through an External ServerClass
4. httpd sends these log strings in the following format to the Pathway buffer:
ExtendedLog:\n<extended log string>\nCommonLog:\n<access
logstring>\n
5. If either one of the logs are not enabled in the iTP Secure WebServer
configuration, then only the corresponding log strings are sent.
6. You can retrieve these log strings, manipulate them if necessary and log them into
a separate log repository.
7. If a separate repository is not maintained, you can send back the modified log
strings (one or both) through Pathsend in the same format as mentioned above.
httpd would retrieve these strings and log them into the respective log files.
8. If no log strings are sent back, httpd will not log anything in the access.log and
httpd.log files.
9. Even when the logging serverclass is used, webserver errors will still be logged in
the error log.
Note. Two new configuration directives have been added for these modifications. For more
information, see Appendix A, Configuration Directives.
