For the error logs, logging to syslog (or syslog-ng) is built into Apache.

For the access logs, try SNARE for Apache:

http://www.intersectalliance.com/projects/SnareApache/index.html

You can use this in conjunction with syslog-ng. It will send you’re apache logs to the syslog daemon on the local system, then all you have to do it set up syslog-ng to forward the logs to a central server and separate them according to the server sending the logs. This is all built into syslog-ng.

Subject: [syslog-ng] Apache Syslog-ng/Syslog-ng newbie

Hello all,

I am new to this list, I am seeking some help on how to setup syslog-ng as a central log server.  More importantly I am wanting to know how to log all of my Apache servers to the central log server, but also create separate logs for each of the systems.  For example I am looking to do something like this:

Apache1

/var/log/Apache1/httpd/access.log

/var/log/Apache1/httpd/error.log

Apache2

/var/log/Apache2/httpd/access.log

/var/log/Apache2/httpd/error.log

Apache3

/var/log/Apache3/httpd/access.log

/var/log/Apache3/httd/error.log

and so on.

Thanks all in advance

Vince
