Re: Selective logging
Hi Willy, I've dug the mailing list and found this, which would so come in handy for me right now. Any updates on this, are you still considering its implementation? Your proposed solution log disable if acl would work just fine, or even no log if acl. Thanks, Pedro.

I think that the simplest solution would be to implement something like log disable if acl which would work both in the frontend and in the backend. I understand your requirement and in my opinion it really makes sense to log only dynamic pages. I'm adding that on the TODO list. Regards, Willy

Hi Alex, I'm using syslog-ng to achieve this. The local syslog daemon only forwards logs to the central syslog server when certain criteria are matched. Using syslog-ng usually offers very flexible means to meet your logging requirements. -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://jbq.caraldi.com/
