Announcing new Apache module (written in C): mod_log_sqlite is an Apache logging module for sqlite database. It allows you to log your HTTP stats into sqlite, then you can do queries using sqlite's SQL feature (including subselects, views) to HTTP statistics.
http://freshmeat.net/projects/mod_log_sqlite/ here's an excerpt from README: ==== mod_log_sqlite - Apache logging module to sqlite INSTALL: You can install this module easily via apxs magic. % make # make install % make clean CONFIGURATION (summary): 1. install sqlite from http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ 2. Add following lines to your httpd.conf LogSQLiteDBFile sqlite-logs/sqlite_log LogSQLiteAutoChown On CONFIGURATION (details): First you should install sqlite module manually. See http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ for details. Then you should initialize access_log database (from 0.05, this is optional). Note that the database file and the directory should be writable by httpd running user ("nobody" by default). # mkdir /usr/local/apache/sqlite-logs # chown nobody:nobody /usr/local/apache/sqlite-logs % sudo -u nobody sqlite /usr/local/apache/sqlite-logs/sqlite_log < create_table.sql "create_table.sql" is bundled with this module. Note that this module automatically creates log table if there's not one, from 0.05. You can let this moule do chown() automatically, by adding directive: LogSQLiteAutoChown On Finally, simply add the following line to your httpd.conf: LogSQLiteDBFile sqlite-logs/sqlite_log Table name is "access_log" by default. You can change it via "LogSQLiteTable" directive if you want to. LogSQLiteTable wwwlog From 0.05, this module supports separate database files per VirtualHosts, which means you can even do: <VirtualHost x.x.x.x> ServerName vh.example.com LogSQLiteDBFile /home/vh.example.com/logs/sqlite_log </VirtualHost> That's all! Enjoy querying your access_log via VIEWs and/or sub-querys. -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
