internal ip logging

[tripstar1976]

Hi

Is there any way to stop internal/network ips from being logged?

Thanks

Yep, the buzz words you need to search for here are: conditional logging in apache. Here's a great reference. It uses apache mod_setenvif by the way:

Assuming that internal IP's will be of the 192.168.xxx.xxx type, I believe something like this would work:

[code]

SetEnvIf Remote_Addr ^192\.168\. internal_IP
CustomLog logs/access.log combined env=!internal_IP

[/code]

What this basically does is instanciate an "internal_IP" environmental rule if the IP starts with "192.168." which is then evaluated after the custom log directive.  If internal_IP exists, it will suppress logging. I actually do this with a number of my scripts called by AJAX. Comes in pretty handy.

Have fun.
