Apache LogFormat

This is how I set my Apache LogFormat. This includes a lot of extra info, but my traffic volume is low. Even on large volume sites, I found Apache logging to add fairly low overhead and better logs are almost always worth their weight.
# %V The server name according to the UseCanonicalName setting. Useful for virtual hosting servers. # %h Remote host # %l Remote logname (from identd, if supplied). This will return a dash unless mod_ident is present and IdentityCheck is set On. # %u Remote user (from auth; may be bogus if return status (%s) is 401) # %t Time the request was received (standard english format) # %r First line of request # %>s status. For requests that got internally redirected, this is the status of the *original* request --- %>s for the last. # %b Size of response in bytes, excluding HTTP headers. In CLF format, i.e. a '-' rather than a 0 when no bytes are sent. # %{Referer}i The contents of Foobar: header line(s) in the request sent to the server. # %{User-Agent}i # %{Foorbar}C The contents of cookie Foobar in the request sent to the server. # %P The process ID of the child that serviced the request. # %D The time taken to serve the request, in microseconds.
