Piped log handlers
  • Specify a script, rather than a log file.

    
    CustomLog "|/usr/local/bin/logprocess.pl" common
    		  

  • logprocess.pl would look like ...

    
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    		  
    
    while (my $log = <STDIN>) {
        DoSomethingWith($log);
    }
    		  

  • Where sub DoSomethingWith( ) logs to a database, or writes to a file, or emails you summary data, or something.
