the request log generated by jetty is completley independent of any 
logging Solr does (or of what slf4j binding solr users) ... it's totally 
servlet container dependent.

: The console is redirected to a file and there are both (GET and POST)
: requests logged but it is mixed with all kind of log messages and
: the request logs are not usable with webalizer or other log analyzer.

I'm not certain but i *think* you are talking about solr log messages, 
which are routed through the JDK logging by default.  unless your servlet 
container (or your JVM) configures where those messages should go, they 
are written to the STDERR.

Solr logs all sorts of things, inlcuding information about each request, 
but the format isn't in any standard "httpd request log" format, because 
solr doesn't have access to all of the information neccessary to do that

You can however configure JDK Logging to send certian types of messages 
(based on level/logger) to differnet files.

info about configuring JDK logging is in the wiki, and the java 
documentation...

questions about request logging

2011-05-18 Thread Bernd Fehling

Dear list,
the poll about solr logging directed my interest to my log files.

Right out of the box the jetty request logs have all information
needed for the GET requests but only the path of POST requests.
Is it possible to have the POST requests logged the same way the
GET requests are logged?

If not, may be with a different logger?

The console is redirected to a file and there are both (GET and POST)
requests logged but it is mixed with all kind of log messages and
the request logs are not usable with webalizer or other log analyzer.
Is it somehow possible to get a useful log file from the console output?

Regards
Bernd
