USING

Use the following settings in your apache config file.

IgnoreHost 192.168.0.1

This option disables the logging of requests from the specified host.

IgnoreAgent MSIE

This option disables the logging of requests with a specified browser. The matching is not exact, the provided keyword is used to match within the browser signature.

IgnoreReferer 192.168.0.2

This option disables the logging of requests referred by the specified host/pageowser. The matching is not exact, the provided keyword is used to match within the referrer. Some browsers (like Konqueror and Mozilla) don't send a referrer.

IgnoreFrom foo@bar.com

This option disables the logging of requests which send the specified E-Mail address as part of the From tag in the HTTP header.

IgnoreMinSize 100

This option disables the logging of requests which size is below a number of bytes.

IgnoreMaxSize 400000

This option disables the logging of requests which size is above a number of bytes.

IgnoreType Image

This option disables the logging of requests for certain mime types. The matching is not exact, the provided keyword is used to match within the mime type.

IgnoreStatus 403

This option disables the logging of requests resulting in a certain status code.

DebugFlag 1

Set this to true to get debug information in your error log.

Negating

You can negate all of the above values with a ! (except DebugFlag).

Example would be :

IgnoreStatus !200

Don't log any request beside the ones resulting in a 200 status.

EXPORT

None by default.
