It's described on the CustomLog docs: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog
"The second argument specifies what will be written to the log file. It can specify either a ***nickname*** defined by a previous LogFormat <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config.html#logformat> directive, or it can be an explicit ***format*** string as described in the log formats <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats> section. " Either you use this way: LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined CustomLog /home/user/logs/XXX.access_log combined Or this way: CustomLog "/home/user/logs/XXX.access_log" "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" You see, "combined" is just a nickname to the LogFormat, you can add something like "my-site-special-log-format" and as long as you call it on the CustomLog it will work, cause it's just an alias.
