Challenger provides access log files in the Common Log Format for each virtual server. It is possible to configure exactly what should be logged and how by the Server Variables/Logging... variables.

Logging can also be done through special logging modules. A few such modules are included with Challenger.

User logger
Logs accesses to a user's home pages in a separate access log. Each user that wants such an access log must create an AccessLog file, in her home page directory.

AccessLog filename

The filename of the access log file, by default AccessLog.

Logging Format

Configuration of how things should be logged.

Only log in userlog

If set, no entry will be written in the normal log.

Private logs

The directories that are to get their own log files. Either use a specified PATH or a pattern. /foo/ will use /foo/AccessLog, /users/%s/ will use an AccessLog in all user directories, providing that the users directories are mounted on /users/. All PATH's are relative to Challenger's virtual file system.

Logging disabler
This module can be used to turn off logging of files, specified with a regexp.

Logging for

All files whose PATH in the virtual file system match these patterns will be logged, unless they match any of the No logging for patterns.

No logging for

All files whose PATH in the virtual file system match these patterns will be excluded from logging.

Client logger
This module simply logs the user-agent field in a log file. Normally, this field is not logged in access logs, though it is possible to configure Challenger to log it there.

Client log file

The file to log to.
